This washcloth is made in the alternating berry crochet stitch and looks great in a solid color or in stripes to really show off the little berries. It is really simple to make once you get the hang of it.Â
A small washcloth or dishcloth is a wonderful project to learn a new crochet stitch. Once you’re done, you’ll feel instant gratification and want to make another one in a different color.
DAZZLE BERRY WASHCLOTH
I used  Lily Sugar’n Cream in the color Dazzle Blue for this solid sample. It’s a #4 weight medium yarn and a size 5.00 mm H/8 crochet hook.
Here’s an off white sample shown here in Bernat, Softee Baby Cotton yarn, in the color Cotton along with the same crochet hook. It’s a #3 weight yarn for a slightly smaller size cloth.
