Crochet Dishcloth
This easy to crochet dishcloth is using the moss stitch which makes it very quick and easy to crochet. What is the moss stitch? It's very simple, it consists of 1 single crochet, chain 1. You crochet within chain one spaces. Though it appears like a solid unit, it's actually like a granny experience.
This dishcloth is 8" x 8" square. The width will give you approximately 8" wide but when you crochet, you stop when the length gets to 8". It goes much faster than you may realize. It didn't take me long to make this example.

Thank you so much. A woman at church cleaned out her mom’s “stash”, probably thousands of dollars of yarn and in it was a lot of cotton yarn. We are going to start with a dishcloth to teach people to crochet and donate them. Then we will move on to hats, scarves and blankets. This tutorial is very clear in both the video and the voice. In fact your voice is quite soothing (had abdominal surgery this morning and helps with the pain!) Again thank you so much for sharing your love of crochet in a way I can understand. Enclosing my swatch.

What is the yarn used in the photo? Are you using two yarns at the same time?

Lily Sugar & Cream Twists. The colour may be unavailable. I bought it a few years ago. It's cotton yarn. It's just one strand of yarn.

I can't find the tutorial for this dishcloth on this page. The link right on the page would be helpful.
