This video shows you how to make my go-to washcloth pattern using the lemon peel crochet stitch from start to finish. I would classify this as a beginner-friendly pattern, as it uses no fancy stitches, just chains, single and double crochet. The fanciest part is the color change, which I show you several times, as well as a couple other tricks I like to use for the slip knot (courtesy of Jill @gumleaf_crochet on IG), adding a border, and weaving in your tails as you work.
Yarn: Yarnspirations Lily's Sugar 'n Cream in Ecru (Main Color/Color A) and Overcast (Contrast Color/Color B)
Hook: 6mm / J hook
Written Instructions:
