Super Easy Corner to Corner Crochet Dishcloth Tutorial

My favorite kind of crochet projects are the ones that are easy to make and work up quickly.

Last Christmas I learned how to make a blanket using the corner to corner stitch.

Once I got the hang of the pattern the blanket worked up really quickly.

I also tried my hand at making dishcloths, which I really enjoyed.

Earlier this summer I decided that I would try my hand at creating my own corner to corner (also known as c2c) dishcloth.

As you can see it turned out pretty great!

If you’re looking for something that is easy to make and works up quickly then this dishcloth pattern is for you.

Or if you want to practice using the c2c crochet stitch before you tackle a bigger project this tutorial will help you learn/review the basics.
