![How to Crochet Easy Half Double Crochet Washcloth | Haylee Washcloth | EyeLoveKnots
How to crochet an easy, beginner friendly washcloth worked in simple half double crochets and worsted weight cotton yarn. 7 sizes included! This washcloth is a great project to work in a solid color, or bust out your yarn scraps and work in fun stripes or a color block pattern.
The most common washcloth size I come across is 8โณ by 8โณ, but I know everybody has their size preferences so I aim to have square sizes from 4โณ to 10โณ.

Youll need 20 (25, 35, 45, 60, 70, 85) Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn โ I used Queensland Cotton Coastal in the Malachite [Green] and Cobalt [Darker Blue] colorways, an H8/5mm crochet hook and tapestry needle.
Buy Queensland Coastal Cotton in my yarn shop: https://yarncraftsandcoffee.com/product/queensland-coastal-cotton-yarn-solids/
Material Notes:
Yarn Alternative: WeCrochet Dishie Yarn
If you wanted to use this as an afghan square instead, use your favorite worsted weight yarn paired with an I9/5.5mm crochet hook (because cotton yarn is more relaxed than say an acrylic or wool).
I love my Koi Fish ergonomic crochet hook from SiennasBowtique on Etsy: https://tidd.ly/3AKVOMr
If you experience ruffling when working the border, this is caused from a change, especially seen on the sides. My quick fix is to simply go down a hook size to a G6/4.25mm. You can also continue with the same hook youโve been working with, and just block the finished washcloth. Usually, I run into this issue, but with the Queensland Coastal Cotton, I did not so I kept the same hook throughout.
I usually recommend jewelry pliers to use to help weave in ends, as cotton yarn can be quite tough on the fingers when weaving in with just fingers and a tapestry needle, but Queensland Coastal Cotton is really smooth, and easy to weave the yarn in and out of.
Time Spent:
I had the 7โณ in just under 45 minutes.
Measurements:
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Gauge:
Measured in Pattern: 11 HDC = 3 1/8โณ Wide by 11 Rows = 4 1/8โณ Tall
Note: If you are measuring a swatch that is only 11 HDC wide by 11 rows tall, it will measure slightly larger. If working a swatch, I recommend working at least 15-18 stitches by 15-18 rows, but a swatch is not necessary for this project unless the finished size is essential to you.
When working the pattern, the border will add about 5/8โณ to the width and height. After working about 4 โ 6 rows, you can measure the width, add in the border, and you will know if the finished size will be where you want it to be. The height is even easier to see as you can measure as you go, and stop when you get close to your desired height making sure to figure in the border.

![How to Crochet Easy Super Chunky Double Crochet Beanie Hat | Dylan Claire Beanie | Cre8tion Crochet
The Super Chunky Striped Dylan Claire Beanie is an easy crochet beanie pattern worked in simple double crochet stitches and fun stripes, and worked in a cozy, super bulky #6 yarn, which means itll work up nice and quick! 7 sizes included from Newborn through Adult Large.
One thing I really love about working with super chunky yarns is how quickly projects come together. In a quick comparison to Worsted Weight #4 yarn when working a double crochet beanie, the newborn size requires 4 rounds of increases while the super bulky weight only requires 2! In the same comparison, an adult small size requires 7 rounds of increases while the super bulky weight only requires 3! Are you sold yet?
I designed this beanie using my own technique to keep the seam straight, and Im showing you exactly how I do it! Feel free to replace with your own method - whatever you are the most comfortable with.

Youll need a 50 (65, 75, 90, 120, 145, 175) Total Yards of Super Chunky #6 Weight Yarn - I used Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick in Gray Marble and Barley colorways; Respectively thats about 25 each [35 & 30], 35 each, [45 each], 65 & 55, [75 & 70], 90 & 85, a M13/9mm Crochet Hook, a Tapestry Needle, and a soft tape measure as gauge is important.
You may find it helpful to have a pair of jewelry pliers on hand to help with weaving, or use a small crochet hook to weave with instead.
