Do not turn your work, you will now work single crochet stitches down the side of the washcloth/dishcloth.

Work sc evenly down the side of the washcloth. To keep them even think about how many rows you created. There are 5 rows of color A and 2 of color B.

When you have finished the side, work single crochet stitches into the chain that you started with.

Continue adding single crochet stitches to the other side of the washcloth.

Join with a slip stitch into the first single crochet made on row 34. Fasten off and weave in ends.

I hope you enjoy making these washcloths/dishcloths! If you have any questions, leave a comment I would be happy to help.
