This dishcloth is worked flat, so be sure to turn your work after each row.
When finished, this dishcloth measures 7 inches square.
If you’d like to modify the size of your dishcloth, simply chain any multiple of three and work Row 2 until the dishcloth is square

Dishcloths aren’t typically in need of blocking, but feel free to do so. If you chose a 100% cotton yarn, I recommend simply washing these dishcloths in the washer and dryer just like clothes. They will last for years to come!
