What you’ll need to crochet the jumbo gingham diamond washcloth:
- Worsted weight cotton yarn – I recommend using Dishie yarn from WeCrochet. It’s a super soft cotton yarn and a dream to work with. Plus – there are so many color options to choose from to get the perfect color combo.
- To work the diamond gingham pattern you’ll need 3 colors, yardage per color listed out below. In my sample, I use Color A for the border which is accounted for in my yardage estimate. You can absolutely use Colors B or C for your border, you’ll just need to switch the yardage estimates to account for that.
- Color A: 72 yards
- Color B: 50 yards
- Color C: 50 yards
- 3.75mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Wherever you are meant to cut off a color in the pattern, it is marked as such throughout.
