This dishcloth is made by creating a square, then adding an optional border for a neat finish.
The ch 2 at the beginning of each row does NOT count as a stitch. This is the turning chain, and will allow the edges to remain nice and straight.
When worked to pattern, your dishcloth will measure approximately 8 inches wide by 8 inches tall.
Feel free to adjust the size of your dishcloth by chaining less/more stitches to make it narrower/wider. Simply repeat row 2 until it is square.
Dishcloth:
Ch 27
Row 1: in the third ch from the hook, work 2 sc. *sk one ch, sc 2 in next ch* until the end of the row. (26 sts)
Row 2: ch 2 and turn. sk the first st, work 2 sc into the next st *skip next st, sc 2 in next st* until the end of the row. (26 sts)
Rows 3-27: repeat row 2
f/o and proceed to finishing
Finishing:
Using CC
Attach a new strand of yarn to any stitch on row 25. Sc in each st, and sc 3 sts in ea corner. On the sides, place one single crochet stitch in every row you worked. Continue until you reach the first stitch you made.
f/o, and weave in any ends remaining.
Enjoy your new dishcloth!
