There are now 2 loops on hook. Bring yarn over hook from back to front, and draw it through both loops on hook. One loop remains on the hook, and you have just made one single crochet stitch. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 in each of the remaining 27 chains — be sure to work in the very last chain. You have now completed one row of single crochet. Measure your work; it should be about 7" wide. If it is too wide, try again with fewer beginning chains.

If it is too narrow, try again with more beginning chains.

At the end of the row, make one chain stitch, then turn the work counter-clockwise, leaving the hook in the chain. Make one single crochet stitch in first stitch and in each remaining stitch of the previous row. Be sure to work into the last stitch. Cut the yarn from the skein, leaving a 6" end. Draw the hook straight up, bringing the yarn through the remaining loop on the hook. You may also like — Crochet Rainbow Washcloths. Her passion is crochet and her style is modern, vibrant and fun.

The same brand has a complete size range of knitting needle ends that can be interchanged on the same cables. So nice to have such a short set of knitting needles to work with because you can choose from so many lengths of cable that holds your project. They are well worth searching for if you are going to do a lot of Tunisian crochet or knitting. I made one of these dishcloths and I love it!!

They are quick and easy to make and make the most excellent dishcloths I have ever used. Learned to do them just before Christmas and have made nearly a dozen already.
