This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in textiles.

In this project, you will crochet *(or knit) a dishcloth.

Minimum requirements:
 - will be made out of cotton or other durable, natural absorbent fibre, like linen or hemp.
 - it must measure 10 by 10 inches.

To document completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pics or video (< 2min):
-  Show and describe your yarn and crochet hook or knitting needles.
-  Show your dishcloth in progress.
-  Show your completed dishcloth in a way that documents its finished size.

Here's some videos on crochetting, to help you get started (if you would like a primer on knitting, check out the hot pad badge bit)

Oh no no, these dishcloths must be hot and sexy. No drab dishcloths for this PEP

I spent my spare minutes over the last couple days crocheting a pot holder for the door of the rocket cooktop, which we have discovered gets quite hot. I used some gorgeous naturally-dyed yarn that Judith Browning very kindly sent to Wheaton Labs, which Paul & Jocelyn were sweet enough to allow me to use. Unfortunately, the door got a lot hotter than expected, and charred the potholder almost instantaneously! Luckily, the charring was on the wrong side, so the right side (the “front”) still looks good, and can be used for actual pot handles. I may need welding gloves for the door!

Nicole, I actually don’t think it was cotton. I don’t know for sure, but it feels like wool to me, despite the fact that it burned, which normally doesn’t happen too easily with wool. It’s definitely not acrylic.

When it burnt, did it smell like hair? If not, maybe it was cotton. I might just have to moosage Judith to find the answer to this mystery!

Jen and Nicole,
It's definitely wool Not a handspun but from a commercial source.

Wool will char or scorch if the heat source is that hot...it is self extinguishing though.

It's painfully obvious that I'm over 20 years out of practice. It's ugly, but it will get the job done. Despite thinking I gave enough extra at the start, it wnded up less than 10 wide, so I gave up the perfect square to ensure the same total volume of stitches.

Oh my, I forgot all about tension on the stitch. I stayed close to 10 inches square, used cotton I had from old projects. The rain in the PNW has driven me inside but at least I can still work on BBs

For potholder use I suggest you make your crochet item from wool yarn, somewhat oversized, and then full it.  That closes up the holes and makes a denser fabric that will offer more protection from hot surfaces.  (Be sure you aren't using 'superwash wool' , which won't felt)  

If you have a washing machine, just throw it in the hot wash, like you'd never do with wool socks or sweaters.  Check it for size and then either pull it back into shape and dry flat or throw it in a hot dryer if you want to continue the felting/shrinking process.  You could also do this by hand.  Wet the finished potholder in warm water, rub some soap on it, and scrub it together between your hands, roll it up, bash it about, unroll, bash it some more, rinse with cold water, use hot water and soap again.  Repeat until you like the amount of shrinkage, then pull back into shape and dry flat.  Fulling is also a great tension reliever, and kids love it too!

I have never done this before but I thought it looked like fun and I gave it a shot.  My Grandma left handed taught me right handed to crochet. It was hard on both of us and the lessons didn't get very far.  I knew only the very basics, and had forgotten how to end one row and go to the next, so all the scarves I crocheted were very uneven,  which is why I only did scarves, the fringe on the end hides a multitude of sins.  Thanks for doing this.  The videos posted made it very easy.  Now I am searching out videos to learn more.

Just wait until you decide to make 2 strand bags of a grocery shopping size.
I didn't find a pattern, I created it. Basic rectangle in the round, then continue adding to each side separately an odd number of rows to slip stitch over to the next side, until all 4 sides have these odd rows sticking out.

Next, seam these edges on the wrong side, forming the bottom and beginning of the sides of the bag. (The assembly photo shows 2 corners seamed.) Continue the many rounds to make it deep enough for your needs. Add a 2 strand  double row handle on either side.

Thanks Jen. It seems I do better when NOT following a pattern. And they are almost as easy as 100 dishcloths! Good luck on giving your entire Christmas card list a set for every kitchen!!

Here are some of my current projects (some small, most larger, not sure if they'll be accepted for this BB?)

I made a set of dishclothes and washclothes for my parents for Christmas, as well as handmade stuffed toys for friends. I'll have to start getting pictures of them while they're "in progress" so I can apply them for BBs!

I opted for the crochet over knitting. I already know how to knit and wanted to learn basic crochet. So here we are. I’m pretty happy with my first crochet item ever.

I'm an intermediate crocheter and have no need for another dishcloth. Is it acceptable if I post similar progress photos of another more complicated crochet project?

Am I scavenger-hunting right?

That looks amazing! Much denser than standard single crochet. I'll have to look up Tunisian crochet now.

I think that--for this Badge Bit--if the complicated crochet project has a 10x10 square of crochet, then we can count it.  

It sure does make it easier for us certifiers, though,  if you make the thing listed in the badge bit. That makes it super quick and easy to judge, and makes it a lot easier for people--like Mike Barkely above, and myself--who don't know how to crochet to certify it if it follows the requirements.

Tunisian crochet has some unique characteristics. It's suitable for something more stable. Here are some samples done with regular tunisian crochet hook and circular one. Most of my yarns are acrylic so I didn't use them in the BB.

Crochet a dishcloth with double and triple crochet stitches. Included a hanging loop.

Learned about a new way to turn and not "chain up"

Would a knitted cloth satisfy the requirement for this BB? I like to knit my washcloths and dishcloths.
This is a 9 1/2" square waffle-knit cloth in cotton/linen blend.
The project pictures show the yarn I used, the project on the needles, and the finished cloth.

Knitting is acceptable, but this Badge Bit does require 10" x 10"
