– small amount for crocheting the edge, I used White (No 16) and Pink (No 33) for each dishcloth
– (US) H-8 / 5 mm crochet hook
– Tapestry needle
– Stitch markers
– Scissors

Gauge: 17 sc x 14 rows = (4” x 4”) with H-8, 5mm crochet hook. 

Abbreviations / special stitches
– ch = chain
– sl st = slip stitch
– sc = single crochet
– sk = skip
– FL = front loop
– BL = back loop
– *to ; = repeat * to the instructions.

Special stitches

Notes
– Beginning chain does not count as a stitch.

Ch 33 (crochet multiple of 2 + 1)

Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from the hook, sc in each ch across, turn. (32 sts)
Row 2: ch 1, sc in FL of first st, *sc in BL of next st, sc in FL of next st; repeat * to across, turn. (32 sts)
Row 3: ch 1, sc in BL of first st, *sc in FL of next st, sc in BL of next st; repeat * to across, turn. (32 sts)
Row 4 to 25: repeat rows 2 & 3 continuously. Or repeat row 2 & 3 until you have a square shape.

If you confused whether to crochet front or back loop when start the next row, here is a little tip: If you end the row with back loop, then start the next row with back loop.

Do not fasten off or cut the yarn. Turn the work again for making a sc edge.

(122 total) Fasten off. (The total number of the stitches should have an even number)
