Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a magic ring: Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling a loop through. This will be the center of your dishcloth.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. To close the round, join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the chain-3. You should have a total of 12 dc.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, then work 1 dc in the same stitch. Now, place 2 dc in each stitch around the circle. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You will have 24 dc at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, then *work 1 dc in the next stitch, followed by 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You should have 36 dc now.
5. Round 4: Chain 3, then *work 1 dc in the next 2 stitches, followed by 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You will have 48 dc at the end of this round.
6. Round 5: Chain 3, then *work 1 dc in the next 3 stitches, followed by 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You should now have 60 dc.
7. Round 6: Chain 1, then work a single crochet (sc) in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the first sc to close the round.
8. Round 7 (Scalloped Edge): *Skip the next stitch, then work 5 dc in the next stitch, skip the next stitch, and sl st in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the first sl st to finish the scalloped edge.
9. Finish: Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle. Your beautiful Sunset Burst Crochet Dishcloth is now complete!
