Easy Textured Washcloth/Dishcloth pattern

My sweet grandson had me so nervous before his big entrance that I had to keep my hands busy!

Cotton washcloths and dishcloths are the best!

I came up with a quick washcloth pattern as I was overly anxious before my daughter had her cutie son yesterday! I had to keep my hands busy!!

Cotton cloth approximately 8" square

Materials

H hook

cotton ww yarn

tapestry needle

scissors

Abbreviations

ch: chain

sc: single crochet

hdc: half double crochet

dc: double crochet

f.o.: finish off

sk: skip

Note:

Unless noted otherwise: ch at end of each row does not count as stitch.  If pattern reads "sc, sc2tog, 2sc" it would be read as, " single crochet, single crochet 2 stitches together, 2 single crochet in the next stitch", directions are to be repeated to end of row/round unless otherwise noted.  

This is an original design by me, Anna Wilson, and I share it freely with all you crafty crocheters!  You may do whatever you like with your finished Washcloths/Dishcloths: sell them at farmer's markets, use them, gift them, fly to the moon with them or take over the world with them!! But I ask that you not reproduce/sell this pattern.

Directions:

ch 30 (or any multiple of 2 to reach desired size!)

1: hdc in 2nd ch from hook, *sk one ch, sc & dc in next ch*, in last ch hdc. ch1 turn

2:  hdc in 1st st, *sk st, sc & dc in next st*, hdc in last st. ch1 turn

           *Note: you will be making sc/dc in sc sts from previous row always

3-?: repeat row 2 until desired length, I made about 22 rows total

when you reach desired size f.o. and use tapestry needle to weave in ends
