Introduction
The Linen Stitch Wash Cloth is a free pattern written specifically to help absolute crochet beginners practice the chain stitch and the single crochet stitch, comfortably hold the hook and yarn, learn to maintain even tension, and more.

It is part of my You Can Crochet This! series written for absolute beginners.

Materials
Scheepjes Softfun (affiliate), or a comparable cotton/acrylic blend yarn that’s smooth and machine washable, since it is a wash cloth!
Size 4.5mm hook, or the hook that your yarn ball suggests
