ReplyDeleteI've noticed that dishcloths seem to be a favourite thing to crochet in the USA, although I don't see many patterns in the UK but, seeing this pattern, and the lovely texture you've created, I'm tempted to use it to make my very first dishcloth :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! Love it!Thanks for sharing pattern!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good week!

ReplyDeleteThat dishcloth is sassy. I bet that pattern will make it nice when washing.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late visit...4H took over my last week.
I've now done 3 in different colors. Love the pattern. Thanks, Lauren
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I am not understanding how when in row two you have two sc but then in row three you need to have four sc to complete row three. Can you help me
DeleteAre you doing the increases and the beginning and the end of the rows?
DeleteI am following what the pattern is saying to do. I start and end with a sc into both front and back loops. By the time I get to the forty sc before starting the decreasing my dishcloth is too triangular
DeleteIt might not look like a perfect square when done, it does slightly look like a diamond, but it should not be too drastic.
DeleteWhen making dishcloths, cotton yarn should be used. Other yarns will not dry well when wiping the countertops, etc.
ReplyDeleteI love the dishcloth pattern - easy and finished in no time. Can you tell me how much worsted weight it takes to make a throw or afghan?
ReplyDeleteIf using something like Red Heart Super Saver, I would get at least 3 skeins.
DeleteI'm getting lost at the beginning. How do you go from having 2 sc in row 2 to 4 in row 3? I've tried several times and I really would like to make this :( please help!

ReplyDeleteMy wording may be off, you are increasing in the 2 sc in row two by doing a sc in the front and back loop of each sc.
DeleteLove this pattern and easy to follow thanks for sharing. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteis there a video tutorial on this?
ReplyDeleteNo, these is not.
DeleteThere is a video now!
DeleteI love this pattern. This is the first corner-to-corner anything that turned out square. And, it was so easy and quick. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhen decreasing should there be a chain one turn at the end of each row?
ReplyDeleteI usually start rows with a chain if the first stitch is a sc or a single crochet decrease in this case.
