Crochet 101: Class 5 – Working in Rows: Wash Cloth Project

Summary
In this fifth class of the Crochet 101 series, we’re shifting focus from circular projects to working in rows. You’ll learn how to crochet flat pieces while making a simple, effective, and reusable cotton wash cloth. This class will solidify your stitch consistency, improve your turning technique, and help you master the fundamentals of row-based projects.

Description
This 2-hour class introduces a new direction—literally. Through instructor-led demos and hands-on practice, you’ll learn how to crochet in rows by working back and forth across your stitches. We’ll emphasize turning your work cleanly, maintaining stitch count, and producing consistent fabric tension throughout.

Your finished project—a handmade cotton wash cloth—is both a practical tool and a perfect example of how rows come together in clean, even panels. You’ll use Premier Home Cotton yarn, a soft and absorbent 100% cotton fiber, ideal for bath and kitchen projects.

• Learn how to turn your work at the end of a row
