Here you go! Here’s a detailed, easy-to-follow guide on how to make a new crochet pattern—beginner-friendly, quick to work up, and written step by step.
(Although you said “knit,” the title says crochet pattern, so I’m giving you a crochet version. If you want the knitting version instead, just tell me!)

🧶 NEW CROCHET PATTERN — EASY, QUICK & BEAUTIFUL

Step-by-Step Pattern for a Simple Textured Dishcloth / Washcloth

This small project teaches you how to design and crochet your own easy pattern while also giving you a ready-to-use version.

✔️ SUPPLIES

• Worsted-weight cotton yarn (any color you love)

• 5.0 mm (H/8) crochet hook

• Scissors

• Yarn needle

✔️ STITCHES USED

• CH – chain

• SC – single crochet

• DC – double crochet

• HDC – half double crochet

• Sl St – slip stitch

If you need stitch tutorials, I can add visuals or explain further.

✨ THE BASIC IDEA OF THE PATTERN

We combine rows of single crochet with a repeat row that mixes SC and DC.
This creates a soft, slightly raised texture, works up very fast, and is great for beginners designing patterns.

🪡 STEP-BY-STEP PATTERN

1. Foundation Row

1. CH 31 (or any odd number if you want to customize the width).

2. Row 1: SC in 2nd CH from hook and in each CH across.

3. CH 1, turn.

2. Row 2 – Texture Row

1. SC in first stitch.

2. (SC, DC) in next stitch → this creates the texture.

3. Skip 1 stitch.

4. Repeat (SC, DC) in next stitch, skip 1 across.

5. End with SC in last stitch.

6. CH 1, turn.

3. Row 3 – Single Crochet Row

1. SC in each stitch across.

2. CH 1, turn.

4. Repeat

Repeat Rows 2 + 3 until your piece is square (usually 18–20 repeats).

5. Optional Border

1. SC evenly around the edges.

2. Place 3 SC in each corner to keep it flat.

3. Sl st to first SC and fasten off.
