Dish cloths made with cotton yarn are great, but in my opinion, nothing beats thread. For one, they're not as thick so you can get into the nooks and crannies easier. Secondly, they dry out much faster so you don't end up with a 'sour' cloth sitting on your sink if you use your dish cloth longer than a day.
This pattern utilizes the granny stitch, so again, a simple cloth for beginners. The pattern also comes from Coats & Clark's Book No. 116, Gifts for All Occasions.
Personally, I like using a No. 7 hook instead of the No. 4 that is called out. I just prefer a tighter stitch. I still make a chain 17 inches long and work in pattern. Obviously, gauge doesn't matter - it's a dish cloth!
Enjoy!
