I love those cotton yarn, like Sugar 'N Cream. I probably have a dozen colors of it, so I will be able to make dishcloths in bright colors and muted colors. I usually buy variegated colors, so I won't have to worry about changing yarn.

Any pattern that you find online is yours to print and use as you wish. I believe you just use the print button and print it out. Many times I have seen here on this site, the editors will tell you just to print out the pattern. I have used the print button and printed out the pattern. Try it and if it does not work for you, let me know and I will see if I can email the pattern to you. Good luck with your group of young ones.

Our parish prayer shawl group wants to teach "young ones" how to crochet. This granny square pattern would be good beginners project. HOW do I request permission to make 25 copies for our participants to follow for learning Granny Square? NOT selling, we are providing the yarn and hooks for the learners.

What do you think?I LIKE THE COLORS AND HOW IT MAKES THE PATTERN EASIER TO WORK WITH! andre

I like this one better. the bigger stich is better.

I really like the two color concept especially since the middle has a cross look to it. The pattern works up really fast and is great for beginners to learn crochet.

This dishcloth like it for the 2 colors that was use. You can see the pattern.
