Crochet an Easy, Beginner Washcloth

If you have been following along in my blog with me, you'll know that I have started a series of articles that talks about how I became a crochet teacher and I give advice for how you can pursue it too (if you are interested you can check out those posts here)!  In post number two of that series I reference this Stitch Sampler Washcloth pattern.  It is SO. SIMPLE. And fast!  And really, when you are making a wash cloth or a dish rag isn't that the best kind?  I don't know about you, but I don't love spending hours on something that will most certainly get dirty and beat up!

This pattern is perfect for learning and teaching because it uses the three most basic crochet stitches (SC, HDC, and DC) without getting too fancy!  It doesn't even require much counting aside from the starting chain.  It looks great in one solid color or you can mix it up like I did by adding some stripes.
