I removed the washer from my home and now the washer faucet hookup is leaking. How can I stop it from dripping?

Where's the leak? Out of the spout or the packing nut on the stem?
If from the spout then shut the water off and change the washer. If from the packing nut then give the nut a quarter turn clockwise. Good luck, Tom

Where was the washer at in your home when you removed it and why did you remove it. A little more info and maybe someone can help you.

If you don't want to deal with the repair and it is leaking at the spout you can buy a screw on cap that will fit over the garden hose fitting on the faucet such as one from here:
