Free Crochet Pattern: Easiest Washcloths Ever

(Shown in Bernat Handicrafter Pale Yellow)

Below are a few simple rag patterns that I use when I need to whip up a quick rag.
If you are looking for a less basic rag you may like my Round Ruffly Rag or the Very Ribbed Rag. 

 Thanks for stopping by!

Skill Level: Beginner

Finished Size: 6" x 6"

Supplies:
Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn, approx. 50 yds. per washcloth

Optional Edge Addition:
Adding the following edge to your washcloth will change the size to about 6.5" x 6.5".

Each of the patterns below do not have an edge as the edges come out pretty clean with sc & hdc stitches but if you would like to add a border anyways I suggest the following:

After completing your final row of the pattern you are using, ch 1 & rotate the washcloth to the right so you can work along the side. Sc along the edge until you reach the next corner, ch 2, rotate the washcloth again to work along the next edge. Continue to do this for each edge, join with a sl st, fasten off and sew in ends.

Size I (5.5 mm) Crochet Hook
Tapestry Needle
Scissors

Abbreviations (US Terms):
BLO - Back Loop Only
Ch - Chain
Dc - Double Crochet
Hdc - Half Double Crochet
Sc - Single Crochet

Important Notes:
-This pattern uses a magic circle, if you don't know how to make one you can learn how here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64O9WVJucFA
-A group of stitches listed between these brackets [ ] are to all be worked in the same space.

Round 1: Magic circle, ch 1, 8 hdc in circle. Pull circle tight, do not join. (8 hdc)

Place a stitch marker in the last hdc made.

Now, instead of joining with a sl st you will begin working in the round by working the first stitches directly into the first hdc of row 1.

Round 2: In BLO: [Sc, hdc] in first, 2 hdc in next and in each around. (1 sc, 15 hdc)

Move the stitch marker to the last hdc made and continue to do this at the end of each round as you go to help you keep your place.

Round 3: In BLO: 2 hdc in first, hdc in next. *2 hdc in next, hdc in next.* Repeat *to* around. (24 hdc)
Round 4: In BLO: 2 hdc in first, hdc in next. *2 hdc in next, hdc in next.* Repeat *to* around. (36 hdc)
Round 5: In BLO: 2 hdc in first, hdc in 2. *2 hdc in next, hdc in 2.* Repeat *to* around. (48 hdc)

Round 7: In BLO: [Sl st, ch 2, 2 dc] in first. 3 dc in next and in each around. Join with a sl st. (180 dc)

Don't worry about counting your dc's in round 7, it's ok if you're off by a few.

Fasten off and sew in ends.
