Stitch of the Week at the CGOA Message Board

At the CGOA Message Board there are member volunteers giving a "stitch of the week" that other members can try - or not.
Being that I have a box of Sugar 'n Cream cotton yarn I thought I'd give up crocheting bibs for awhile and give it a go...

On the left is the Week #1 Square: A single crochet with a choice of two edgings. I used Sugar 'n Cream 4-ply worsted weight 100% cotton yarn in color: Newport, using a G+/4.50mm hook and made an 8" square that I'll try out as a dishcloth.
~~~~~~~~~~
In the middle is Week #2 Square: A split single crochet using Sugar 'n Cream 4-ply worsted weight 100% cotton yarn in color: Fairy Tales, using an H/5.mm hook and 6" square that will be given as a baby washcloth.
~~~~~~~~~~
On the right is Week #3 square: A crossed double crochet that can be done in two variations. Again I used Sugar 'n Cream 4-ply worsted weight 100% cotton yarn in color: Light Blue, using an H/5.mm hook. It finished at 8" square and is already placed in the shower to use as a washcloth.
