Shopping For Your Materials
You can find Sugar ‘n Cream cotton yarn at any craft store and possibly your supermarket or Wal-Mart. Your local yarn store may also carry it.
It runs between $1.87 and $2.50 per ball, which is great, because these dishcloths make lovely gifts, especially wrapped up with some pretty soap.
Here's a quick yarn lesson - the weight, or thickness, of this yarn is called "worsted.”
It's the next step down in thickness from the aran-weight yarns that we were looking at earlier.
The needle size that matches it is a US size 7 (4.5 mm), so pick up a pair of those as well while you're at the store.
Worsted-weight yarn is the most common thickness of yarn used, so you'll be using your size 7 needles on many, many projects to come.
If you'd like to make a little loop on one corner of your dishcloth to hang it up in the kitchen, also grab a crochet hook in size G (4.25 mm).
Don't worry - even if you don't know how to crochet, I have a video that will show you how to make the loop. So let's get started!
Good luck finding the middle of your ball of yarn on this one - I usually have to "pull from the outside” on these yarns. It's worth a try, though. ;)
Follow along with your pattern and these videos as we make the dishcloth together.
