Solace Square 🧡🤎🖤
I am a little behind on my squares for the Moogly CAL for 2025. I will admit, the first one was a bit tough on me paired with the fact that I could not really decide on what yarn and what colors I wanted to use.
🌪 Guys, seriously. Choosing colors is one of the hardest things for me. It brings me so much anxiety and I fall down a rabbit hole. Mostly because I don't have a style picked out for myself. I'm trying to go sort of cozy farmhouse in the Yarn Crafts & Coffee shop so that is helping to give me a little sense of direction, but really even that only goes so far sometimes.
I recently tried this 🧡🤎🖤 color combination on the new sign I'm working on for the shop inside America's Antique Mall in Melbourne, Florida - that's Booth 50, and I fell in love.
The love continued when I brought them to this Solace Square! Also helps that I love every single crochet pattern from Pink Mambo - stunning designs filled with such a clever combination of stitch patterns and textures and always written so well.
🧶 Central Florida friends, I'm in the Crochet Aweigh yarn shop on Fridays or the Yarn Crafts & Coffee shop on the 1st and 3rd Sundays each month so come on in and work on your Moogly CAL 2025 squares with me!
🧶 Lion Brand Pound of Love in Mocha, Pumpkin Spice, White and Black -- sold in the Yarn Crafts & Coffee Shop too in person and at YarnCraftsandCoffee.com

![Crochet Granny Stitch Dishcloth with Sport Weight Yarn | Sport Weight Crochet Pattern | EyeLoveKnots
Learn how to crochet an easy crochet washcloth featuring the cute and classic granny stitch pattern in 7 sizes with this video tutorial using your favorite sport weight cotton yarn. 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.
There is no doubt that handmade washcloths are great for washing dishes with, and also feel fantastic against the skin in the shower, though worked in the classic granny stitch pattern, I do question if the soap would go right through the holes or if Id get annoyed at feeling the other side of things against my hands through the holes?
For me, the lacy stitch pattern of these granny stitch washcloths makes for a beautiful, decorative washcloth to display in the kitchen or bathroom, use as a doily or even as a coaster or use just for drying off hands and dishes and not washing anything with it UNTIL you see my upcoming update that I am working on with Stitch Soak Scrub Yarn from my Yarn Crafts and Coffee yarn shop to make these better for washing dishing and using in the shower - stay tuned!
The most common washcloth size is 8″ by 8″, but I know everybody has their size preferences so I aim to have square sizes from 4″ to 10″.

Youll need 25 (35, 55, 65, 85, 100, 125) Yards of #2 Sport Weight Yarn – I used Queensland Cotton Coastal Fine in the Azure colorway, an F5/3.75mm crochet hook and tapestry needle.
*Worsted weight versions also shown in Malachite [Green] and Cobalt. If you like the color combo for the striped washcloth shown in the intro, it is a different yarn but in Queensland Coastal Cotton, Lemon and Calypso look similar.

Material Notes:
Yarn Alternatives: WeCrochet CotLin, Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton DK
Linen makes for a really lovely washcloth. It gets strong when wet, and gets softer and nicer with each wash. Linen blends often combine with cotton to add softness.
I love my ergonomic crochet hooks on Etsy (affiliate links):

If you experience ruffling when working the border, this is caused from a change in tension, especially seen on the sides. My quick fix is to simply go down a hook size to a E4/3.5mm. You can also continue with the same hook you’ve 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.
Time Spent:
I had the 7″ in just under an hour and a half.
Sizes:
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Gauge - Measured in Pattern:
- 9 clusters + spaces aka 27 stitches = 5 3/8″ wide
- 15 Rows = 5 7/8″
When working the pattern, the border will add about 3/8″ to the width and height. After working about 6 - 8 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.
