A Single Crochet Dishcloth Pattern is a great project for beginners to build their skills. You create a piece of fabric from a ball of yarn and it is satisfying to see the end product. All we do is simply repeat one stitch over and over and create an easy square cloth
If you are a beginner, and learning to crochet here is a helpful step by step tutorial that will walk you through the steps and show you How To Single Crochet For Beginners Video.
What You Will Need:
Dishcloths are generally made with any brand cotton yarn, as they absorb water better and create such a soft fabric swatch. Today, I used the Mainstays 100% cotton yarn in Opaline green color – it’s such a pretty color yarn. This is a medium 4 yarn that is so soft to the touch because it is all cotton and such a joy to crochet with. You will also need a size H, 5mm hook.
Single Crochet Dishcloth For Beginners
Chain 28 loosely. I’ve shared a step by step tutorial explaining How To Start Chain Crochet Beginner Video that you can refer to if needed.
Keeping your chains loosely will ensure that the dishcloth edges remain straight and the stitches don’t bunch up. If you are a tight crocheter, try sizing up a hook size for just the starting chain to get loose chains.
Row 1: Sc into the second chain from the hook and then into every chain. (27scs). If you are a beginner, count the scs to make sure you have 27 and not lost any stitches.
Row 2: Turn work. Chain 1. Sc into first and every sc below to maintain 27 scs
Work for 30 rows in total, or until you create a square shape as per the tension of your stitches.
When you come to the last stitch on the last row here is how you end your dishcloth.
Insert your hook into the last stitch and pull up a loop as usual.
Then cut off your working yarn leaving a 3-inch tail. Pull the yarn through the last two loops and fasten off. Weave in the tail.

I enjoyed making this single crochet dishcloth. The cotton yarn is so soft and feels great against your fingers as you crochet.
