MATERIALS:
- Approx. 120 yards of Size 4 worsted weight cotton yarn – about 80 yards of one color, 40 yards of another color if you want a 2/3 split like the one in my photos.
- Color A: I’m using Lily Sugar ‘n Cream cotton yarn in bright orange
- Color B: I’m using Lily Peaches ‘n Cream cotton yarn in a variegated mix that has shades of orange to coordinate
- Hook: Size H 5mm crochet hook – I’m using a Boye with comfortable rubber handle
- Yarn needle for weaving ends
- Scissors
ABBREVIATIONS:
ch – chain
hdc – half double crochet

Note: If your gauge isn’t working out quite the same (11″ x 11″), don’t worry. I’m aiming for a square washcloth so just measure your width = _____ inches. Then keep making rows until your length equals that measurement. I’m sure it will look just fine and your creation is YOURS, it’s as unique as you.
Happy Hooking!
The remaining orange yarn remnant and my mixed color ball – make yours solids, stripes, be creative. There’s so much yarn and so little time!
