For my crochet dish washcloth, I’ve used 50 g of this 100% cotton yarn (50g= 170m/ 1.76oz= 185 yards) and a 3 mm hook.

This is very high-quality cotton yarn.

This yarn is made from 100% combed Turkish cotton, which is soft, flexible, and exceptionally durable. Textiles in Turkish cotton stay beautiful for many years and only get softer with use. This yarn also excels when it comes to its absorbing powers, but is quick-drying at the same time.

The color chart includes plenty of gorgeous colors, you just have to decide what color you like and get started. Here you can buy this yarn: Pure Cotton Fine Turquoise

The gauge for the stitch: for 10 cm (4″) with a 3 cm hook:  25 stitches x  16 rows.

The final dimensions are 26 cm x 25 cm (10.2 inches x 9.8 inches)

How to crochet the linked double crochet stitch:

After you crochet the first double crochet stitch crochet the linked double crochet as follows:

1. insert the hook into the diagonal thread (bar) of the previous stitch, yarn over, and draw the loop through;

2. insert the hook into the next chain/stitch, yarn over, and draw the loop through the chain/stitch;

3. yarn over and draw the yarn through 2 loops;

4. yarn over and draw the yarn through the last 2 loops from the hook.

Repeat from the beginning for the next stitch.

The video tutorial:

Start with 66 chains.

Row 1: chain 2 (don’t count as a stitch), double crochet in 3rd chain from the hook, linked double crochet in next chain. Continue to crochet linked double crochet in next and every chain to end, turn. You should have 64 stitches.

Row 2: chain 1 (don’t count as a stitch), *single crochet in next stitch, double crochet in next stitch*. Repeat *-* until the end of the row, turn.

You should have 64 stitches.

Row 3:chain 2 (don’t count as a stitch), double crochet in next stitch, linked double crochet in next stitch. Continue to crochet linked double crochet in next and every stitch to end, turn. You should have 64 stitches.

Repeat from row 2 until you have 39 rows.

Don’t cut the yarn and continue to crochet a single crochet stitch edge around the cloth. Slip stitch in the first stitch to close the round. Tie off and weave in the ends. Watch the video tutorial to see exactly how I’ve crocheted the edge.

If you’ve made this crochet dish washcloth for sale or as a gift I recommend washing the clothes by hand or on the washing machine at a maximum of 40 Celsius degrees; I prefer 20 Celsius degrees for all my cotton items. Dry it flat and then iron it choosing the temperature for cotton. The dishcloth will smell and look better.
