I agree with the above comment
Your teaching i😢s so easy to understand. Also thank you for not playing music. You actually talk which is a blessing. I don't watch any tutorials. So glad I found your site
Thank you for your encouragement Pat! I so appreciate that. Yes, I too get very distracted with music during instruction, especially as a trained musician!
this is what I needed someone to say start with one single crochet and end with a double , double on single and single on double they are great extra hints . I am a beginner and this was immensely helpful . I think your calling is a teacher . thank you so much look forward to more of your you tubes .
wendy waisanen thank you Wendy!
How fun these are to make. The finished dishcloth is a nice gift. Thank you for this video.
My pleasure Debbie!
thanks to you bonnie I can now do this stitch, because no one else would do this stitch. Everyone else would only do the suzette stitch. I didn't, so when I saw this post, I started watching and I was like YES!!! I finally found the stitch I wanted to do, so thank you and God Bless You dear.
Welcome to my channel Kelly! I have many other beginner designs here if you are looking for more: ruclips.net/p/PLoIugZBYOS0UThLQMWAl_UIy_royIGLNE
Hello Ms Bonnie, I just wanted to drop in to say how much I appreciate you and how I love your chose of music in the beginning of each of your videos. May God Bless You❤️
Thank you MaryAnne!! That encourages me very much!
Hi. That was an awesome tutorial. Wow. You and Crystal are the best instructors ever. Thank you so much. Have a blessed day sweetie.
Sharon Thompson thank you!😊😊😊
I just wanted to say that I love the way you teach your videos-so easy to understand. I am making baby blankets for my church. We have a Missionary Closet that visiting Missionaries can take what they need on their journeys. I made a ribbed one, and one with shells. This project looks like it would be nice for a baby blanket, also. Thanks for helping me learn new stitches. Have a Wonderful & Blessed Day!
6996katmom you are such a wonderful example for all of us! Keep up the amazing work of serving His people!
Thanks for the video! I love making dish cloths.
A simple stitch that creates a lovely fabric. Thanks bunches Bonnie!!
OMG!!! I loved doing this dishcloth. I know how to crochet but I can’t follow an actual chart. So this was perfect to me. I didn’t do the loop as I frustrated me. I can’t wait to do more of your vids. A+++
Stephanie Barrett so glad this worked for you!
You are the best teacher. Thank you so much for your patience and knowledge about crocheting. Thank you, thank you
Dolores Paiano my pleasure!😊❤️
Very pretty and easy to make. Your instruction is very clear and concise. I love making dishcloths! Thanks for sharing!
Thea Stewart it’s my joy to share these with you wonderful cricketers iut there!
I had failed many times before trying this pattern and I finally got it and I’m in love! Thank you for being patient
So glad this worked for you!!
Bonnie thanks for the pattern. Very simple. I'm going to make a bunch of these
@@harrietvalla1713 so glad you like this one Harriet!😊❤️
Grand Cotton dishcloth. I was smiling when you added the wee loop. You think of everything. No stone left unturned. I'm also saving this because I think that stitch pattern would also make a grand baby blanket. No holes fir the tiny fingers. Thank you Bonnie.

Perfect for me, a beginner! Thank you for such an easy tutorial.
You explain things so nicely! I'm making a hand towel with this stitch. Love the yarn!
I made it! This is the best tutorial! Thank you! Love my outcome, so pretty.
So glad this worked for you!😊❤️
Hi Bonnie, I love this dish cloth ...Ive been wanting to crochet in a square design and there it is and it is fun to make. Thank you so much .... I have crocheted alot and have been wanting to start again (I have been injured alot and am trying to turn again) YOU are the best !!!!!!! Jill Siegler
Welcome back to crochet Jill! I hope you are able to regain what you have lost to injury.😊
I loved how it turned out just as demonstrated. Thank you!
I love hearing this from crocheters! Thank you Lydia!
This is a great dishcloth I really enjoy my homemade dishcloths they wash so well and last ages. My mom died recently and I'm just getting back to crochet I prefer smaller things like dishcloths its like therapy. I am making my dad a bunch of them thanks Bonnie
gregsgirl23au so glad you are enjoying this one! Do very sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. We lost my mom right before Christmas just a few months ago. Praying for God to comfort you right now.
I like this pretty pattern. I can follow your instructions and am FINALLY finishing a pretty dish cloth, straight edges! Thank you for posting.
My pleasure! So glad this worked for you!😊❤️
A pretty and fun looking dish cloth. Thank you for sharing this Bonnie.🤗
Bonnie, you are such a good teacher! Thanks! I smiled at why we start in the second chain from the hook.
Beautiful stitch! Thanks for sharing!
You are a great teacher. Thank you
Thanks for making it easy. You’re so kind and have such a caring sweet voice. I am going to try this cute dishcloth!
Thank you Rebecca! That's so very kind of you.
I’ve watched many tutorials. This one is great! Thank you!
T Boucher thanks for talkative encouraging word!
I like this pattern because it makes a nice size dishcloth, not too big like some patterns. It is also a nice light cloth, not too bulky. I used Peaches and Creme Stripes in the color way Seaside Stripes and it gave me a nice pattern of blue and green stripes. I did put a single crochet around the edge to finish it off. Thank you for the tutorial, I subscribed to your channel. You have a nice way of teaching, I enjoyed your video. 😊
Thank you Kathy! So glad you enjoyed this one.
This is perfect for beginners! Great instructions👍
Thanks Bonnie so easy to do very easy to follow
Thank you Jan!
Great tutorial. I’ve had issues with borders on mixed-stitch projects in the past, your method works perfectly!
I love this pattern, it’s become my go to for dishcloths and I’ve even started a throw blanket with it using Caron one pound yarn and a 10mm hook and I love the way it looks.
That's great Kaylyn! You may want to consider using a 100% cotton yarn if you are making functional dishcloths though. Acrylic yarn will tear up when scrubbing, whereas cotton will hold up to the toughest pots and pans!
@@BonnieBayCrochet I do! I use cotton for dishcloths, I just got the Caron yarns on sale and figured I would make a quick blanket.
@@kaylynmueller9824 Ok, great! I so love those one pounders for afghans. Great yarn for the price and lasts for years! Take care.
Thanks you so much for your time and talents. This was a sweet and simple totoral .
Thank you for such clear instruction. Greatly appreciated.
Thanks for watching!
That is really pretty. I'm working on a blanket right now, but have this pattern on my to do list. I love colorful yarn for dishcloths. I like to pair it with a solid color too when gifting them. Can't wait to try it.
What a perfect name for that yarn. Looks like whipped cream! I bet it is soft. Thanks for your lesson.
It’s just worsted weight cotton but not too soft. This is more of a strong fiber that will stand ion to years of scrubbing!
I love all your video's they are info pack and are fun!!! Thank you for all your wonderful insight on hooks and yarn it helps me so much!! I love Susan Bates soft handle hooks I own them and your right they are very well made and strong!!! Wishing you a wonderful crochet day!! One of the my favorite things about the hook is how strong they are and that they are long and love, love, love, that they are colored hooks.
Glad you like these hooks! My all-time favorites too. Yes, the color does help to identify the sizes and with my eyes I find this very helpful.
I like the pattern it gives. Will try a lap blanket. Thanks Bonnie!
Great tutorial! I’ve knit many dishcloths but am happy to know how to crochet one now 😊
That's music to my ears! Kind of funny - I just did the opposite and am enjoying knitting these for the first time!
Love it! I can work these up quickly and give as gifts for any occasion! Thanks so much for the pattern 🤗
Thank you for this great stitch. At last a dish cloth that I can actually accomplish with crochet, I have been doing them by knitting which I have been happy with and I have tried the crochet ones only to be discouraged. This is such an easy stitch but the results are an awesome project.
That’s wonderful Gloria!😊❤️
Best tutorial EVER!! Thanks so much!!
Hi Bonnie.... I've made several washcloths over the years, this is the easiest and now my favorite washcloth/dishcloth. I'm hoping to make dishtowels using the same 1sc 1dc pattern. Working on how many cast on stitches for the towel. Your a great teacher. Thank you for sharing your talents. Have a Blessed day 💖.
My pleasure Ginny! Glad you like this one. I too enjoy the fabric of this two-stitch pattern.
Nice demonstration. You are easy to follow. I’m working on this right now. Real excited. I will include a picture once I’m done doing it.
Sounds great Jackie! You can always send the photo to me at bonniebay@me.com.
Great pattern! Will make it soon.
Thank you for showing us all your beautiful work I love the dish cloths they are wonderful
Great little dish cloth 😀 Thank you Bonnie !
My pleasure Tara!
I love this pattern and your teaching style! Thank you for helping me finish my Christmas gifts! ❤️🎄
Wonderful instruction! Thank you so much !
Great tutorial. The best one I have seen. You're tips and explanations were wonderful.
Arlene P thank you!😊❤️
I love it! “Tall Man & Thumbkin Fingers”. Great pattern 💜
Yes, the decades of teaching children always seems to leak out!
Yes it does
Thanks for the great patterns, I love them all! So nice to make two or three up, fold nicely, and give with
a bottle of nice dish soap, (I like to use the smaller size bottle), makes such a nice gift. I have made
many of these sets and everyone really like them. Keep up the good work, everything you show us
how to do is soooo nice! Bobbie, from Terrace, B.C. 🥰
My pleasure Bobbie!❤️😊
Can't wait to try Mother's Day right around the corner
I finally found a dish cloth I can make ty I have tried all kinds of other videos can it would all ways start easy then get complicated ty for your easy video I will post my dish cloth soon
I agree with the Susan Bates Crochet Hooks! I have tried using other brands when I went out of town without hook bag and I just cannot crochet if I do not have Susan Bates type hooks. I thought I was the only one.
Nope Sandra, you’re not alone! 😊❤️
I just started to learn to crochet last weekend. This is the second tutorial of yours that I've come across and you are a wonderful teacher! I'm trying to make a basic square but it's turning into a triangle. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but you mentioned doing a single chain after you flip your work over and I was doing the chain then turning it over. I skipped some stitches too. Trying to practice at least 10 minutes a day, can only get better in time!
Not to worry Karen! This is just part of the learning curve. You are most likely not working the stitches at the end of the row or perhaps skipping the first stitch or even some in between. The best way to cure this is to count the stitches across in each row. As long as your stitch count remains constant, you will end up with a square. I hope this helps!
Keep going you will get it
I just finished my second dishcloth and I counted each row as I went and made sure to pay attention to my first loop and it turned out beautifully and square!
Karen Wescott yay! That’s great!!
That was fantastic! I loved your video.
Great video!💖💖💖💖
Thanks so much. I find cotton yarn harder to work with but it's perfect for this.
You are so right Charlotte! This fabric is definitely stiffer than wools and acrylics. I guess this is another reason why it works so very well for dish cloths. These things last forever!
I love this pattern!
Wow great video, like the tip folding it in the triangle till it meets and then it's square, fantastic tip. I want to make these for Christmas gifts, thank you"
I have been having a really hard time with the boarders on any pattern I do and not knowing where to put the stitch and I either have too many or not enough In the boarder and it makes it look funny and bunched or something. This was really great explaining the boarder so will try this!
Thanks for the suggestion on how to keep track of the count on chaining. So simple but smart.
Jan Young thanks! Just another mommy survival tool!😊
Glad I’m not the only one having problems. I love the look of the dishcloth and the first row is easy but when I do the second row i get mixed up with which st is the single st and which is thedouble crochet. How can you tell them apart when you are trying to work into them?
Excellent, thank you Lady
Sweet I'll have to give it a try
Kitchen sink Esther Wolf
Gah!😊 hope it’s easier than what I was just taught by my aunt Frannie. Chain stitch and then a double half. Gonna be quiet and watch video 😊
You can always slow the video down should you need to Kori. Just hit gear-shaped icon in lower right on computer, or 3 vertical dots in upper right on phone to bring up the playback speed.
Hi, I really enjoyed your video. I do get confused on doing those sides though. (To much on my mind)....I hope mine turns out as nice as yours. I enjoy trying to learn the easy projects. I have been crocheting a long time, but I never got to branch out and learn more things. I am a subscriber and hopefully I can try and learn some more things beginner friendly from you. Thank you and God Bless you.
Welcome aboard Mary! Please don't worry if your first couple of attempts isn't perfect. We all learn so much more when mistakes are made, at least this is true for me. Wishing you all the best!
This is a great tutorial! I’m a knitted of dishcloths but I’m going to make these! Love the pattern. If we wanted to make a towel to match what is the multiple of this pattern? Would it still be in sets of 5?
Honestly, any even multiple will work on this one. Add 1 chain for turning chain.
Love the way you teach! Subbed and rang the bell. Thanks
Thanks for your kind support Lulu! Welcome to my channel!
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis in my hands so I have took up crocheting several years ago when I retired. I have made many blankets and throws for gifts but I wanted to make my daughter and future daughter-in-law these for Christmas. I’ve never used cotton yarn but I bought up many colors because I am also planning on making hand towels. This yarn is giving my poor hands fits but I am going to try to get these made by Christmas.
What a saint you are Becky! Yes, cotton does have more resistance for the hands. I feel that a lot too when I crochet. Maybe you can treat yourself with some fancy (alpaca? wool?) when you are done. I think your hands will be able to breeze through a relaxing project with nicer yarn.
Very beautiful u do amazing work u r a wonderful crafter u give me inspiration, ideas I'm going to give it a try
Thank you Linda! I hope you enjoy the journey.
Thank you love it
I like this it is pretty
Hi Bonnie, I love this pattern! I’m wanting to make it larger for a towel, can you do any odd number? I tried it , but I think I might have made a mistake.
I think this works best with an even number of stitches in a row due to the way the stitches occur.
I am obviously not catching on as well as everybody else here. She’s going too fast for me despite stopping and starting this video I’m just getting enormously frustrated. Any hints and tips will be gratefully received
You can slow the play speed down
I crochet but stayed a beginner. ha I'll do one without a border then come back to this one.
I live in Japan and we make acrylic soap free dish scrubs. It has to be 100% acrylic heavier weight, and we make them small with many fun colors with different motifs like fruits and animals to tea pots and cups. The acrylic won’t come apart if it’s crochet in strong stitches and not in clothes form. Some people swear by acrylic dish scrub as it picks up grease and dirt like no other fibers would without a lot of detergent. If it’s not super greasy you don’t really need detergent at all. The brown spots from tanning in coffee and tea in cups come off without effort and detergent. You have to use shrink free acrylic and we have favorite brands for making acrylic brush. Try it. You would be amazed how it cleans without much detergent and dishes come out sparkling clean. You still need to wash the scrub to keep the grease off with soap/detergent but dishes won’t be touching much detergent so it’s easier and eco-friendly. People love it here.
Ellie W I actually bought some of these from a lady at the Insodong market while visiting Seoul! I use them for scrubbing and they work well. I still enjoy the cotton ones for washing other items down, including countertops.
Yes I use acrylic yarn for scrubbies. Works well and lasts years. Doesnt fade Ike cotton
So the beginning chain has 25 stitches! When I did the sc then the dc, I ended up with 24 stitches. I ripped out once, tried again and still ended up with 24 stitches on the second row. What am I doing wrong?
Lorraine Dooner you’re not doing anything wrong, the pattern is in multiples of two. The extra chain is so that you can turn your work and begin working the first row. The turning chain/s is so that you are in position to work the next row.
Thank you so much for sharing this pattern.You made it so easy to understand. I have lots of yarn I need to use up but it's "80% cotton and 20% other fibres". Do you think it would last? Or shall I buy 100% like you said.
Hi Bonnie, thank you for this video. The wash cloth is very pretty. I need to make a few. Lori Schreiner
Lori Schreiner thank you! These are great quick and easy gifts too!
I am well please to see your video, it's very easy to understand, thanks so much dear, so the problem is for me to get this multicolor yarn, will u please help me where to find this yarn? Thanks so much.
I believe I purchased this from my local Walmart store.
Hello very nice and easy, Thank you. I do a couples ove scs around the handle.
You do your slip knot like I do. Your the first person I've seen do it..most peoples it look so complex
I try to simplify where possible. Why make things complicated when they don't need to be, right? Wishing you the very best!
love the way you teach, but could I take this as a potholder if I take two strange
If you make 2 and crochet them together (for double thickness) it will work!😊❤️
If I wanted to make a bigger one what are the multiple stitches I need to do?
Just add a multiple of 2 to this Vicki!
@@BonnieBayCrochet Thank you!
Does this pattern have a name? Looking for a pattern I havent done in the past.
Very nice. Thank yu
Hi can I get the color name or code for this yarn?
I guess I'm too new at crocheting. This one is too torturous! Tried it again & again. The chain tightens up on second row and I have trouble keeping tension. Oh boy!
Please tell me what these 2 stitches are called. If you do it in 2 colours it becomes the Houndstooth but I can't find it anywhere when you do it in 1 colour. Thanks
This is sometimes called the two stitch or double stitch.
May I know how many rows u hv done for dish cloth m also doing on it,mine is starting 25chains
Made dozens now.
That sounds really neat to be able to slow you down or speed you up, but I don’t see the little gear on my ipad. Is there a way to do that on an ipad?
What are the multiples of this if I want to make it bigger
You can add multiples of 2 to the original starting chain Jennifer!
This went great until the border. I don’t understand what you mean on the first edge about one in the single crochet vs one in the double crochet. Since it’s the edge that are the ends of the rows I can’t tell what is a single crochet and what it a double crochet. They don’t look like single or double crochets to me.
After watching it again, now I got it🤗 each row always starts with a single crochet and ends with a double crochet correct? I made another of your simple patterns and it kept getting shorter and shorter. What was I doing wrong?
Hard to say what went wrong without a photo, but these kind of new techniques always have a learning curve. You may have skipped a stitch here or there. The beginning and ending of rows is where most problems occur. Have a wonderful Christmas!
Hi I love this pattern and would like to have it a bit smaller how many chains would I use to have it come out right with the start of ending on a double and starting on a single I know I should know this but my brain cant seem to see it
This is a multiple of 2+1 (for the turning chain).
@@BonnieBayCrochet awesome ty so much 🤗
Bonnie you said to cast on 25 but when you get to the last chain you are saying it should be a double crochet .I have did this over twice and keep coming up with the last chain should be a single crochect ?
You will begin in the second chain from the hook, and will be working in only 24 chains total across (the first chain is a turning chain). If you alternate a single crochet and then a double crochet you should end with a double crochet since you are working over an even number of stitches. Does that make sense? If not, please ask again.
