What you will need:
Hook, I used the H (5.0mm).
Yarn, I used WeCrochet Dishie, 100% Cotton Worsted Yarn. This stitch has a great definition in cotton yarn and would work well for a dishcloth.
Optional, use a stitch marker to keep track of stitches if necessary.

Ch - Chain
dc - double crochet
Hbdc - herringbone double crochet
Stsc - stacked single crochet

Notes:
If you don't want to use a stacked single crochet at the beginning of the row it can be substituted with a chain 2.
Using a double crochet stitch at the end of the row will help lessen the lean.
