Beginners Easy Summer Dishcloth Crochet Pattern

Good morning crochet friends!

Today’s pattern is a cute Beginners Easy Summer Dishcloth.  Dishcloth patterns abound on the Internet.  There seem to be hundreds, but I wanted to create a pattern with pictures and no abbreviations for a friend who has just started crocheting.  So I selected the Moss Stitch for this dishcloth (chain 1, skip 1, single crochet).

The pictures for the Beginners Easy Summer Dishcloth include dishcloths made with a solid yellow cotton yarn, a pretty variegated blue/green/white cotton yarn, and a piece crocheted with orange and yellow cotton yarns.
