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.

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.

i happen to like a 2 or 3 color pattern, but if i am making it for someone else then i might do the single color.

I prefer this one. I have made both and this one holds up better no matter which types of yarns are used or the use from dishcloth to just setting a vase on it.

I like this pattern as it has a more open pattern! I prefer this for washing dishes & countertops as nothung gets stuck in the fibers.
