I love how the Moss Stitch makes a nice neat design.
After creating a Moss Stitch Crochet Dishcloth, I decided I needed a dish towel to go with it.

I did not add a border to this towel. Feel free to create one if you like.
Yarn Suggestions for Crochet Dish Towels
I use 100% cotton yarn when making dish towel. Acrylic just doesn’t have the same absorbency that cotton does.
I also like to buy it in a cone to ensure that I have enough yarn for the towel. The extra can be used for dishcloths.
100% cotton is perfect for crocheting dishcloths and dish towels.

You’re Welcome!
Do you use worsted (#4) cotton or one of the finer “sport” cotton yarns? I’ve just purchased a bunch of the heavier cotton but was wondering if it was too heavy for dish towels.
It is the Worsted Weight that I use. The #4.
I would love to make this but I am not sure in the directions what the -1 means. you say single crochet in the next space and -1 can you help with this?
It is the chain 1 space. It is hyphenated. So in the previous row, you single crocheted, then you chained one, then single crocheted again. The “chain-1” refers to that space.
