Dishcloth With Stripes (Cr)

  • Completed Project: Dishcloth With Stripes (Cr) Picture #1

Easy dishcloth with stripes :)

I wanted to try my hand at creating a pattern... and decided to try using various stitches and techniques in one project. It made a neat pattern that I really liked so I thought I'd share.
Just so you know - my finished cloth is slightly rectangular... I ran outta yarn. BUT - I took about 4 stitches off the initial chain when I wrote the how-to... you should be fine.
Enjoy!

Abbreviations used;
ch - chain
sc - single crochet
dc - double crochet
st - stitch
TBL - thru back loop
TFL - thru front loop

Any questions, let me know.
Sorry I didn't get a pic of the finished thing. I'll try and get one later - right now it's in the sink. LOL

  1. Step 1

    ch36

    ROW 1:
    1sc into second st from hook,
    then 1sc into each ch to end of row.
    ch1, TURN.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    ROW 2:
    TBL - 1sc into each st to end of row.
    ch2, TURN.

    (at this point you should see the first stripe appear below this row)


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    ROW 3:
    Thru BOTH loops - skip first st - then dc into each st to end of row.
    ch1, TURN.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    ROW 4:
    TFL - 1sc in each st to end of row.
    ch1, TURN.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    ROW 5:
    TBL - 1sc in each st to end of row.
    ch2, TURN.

    (this should have created another line, except on the opposite side of the work)

  6. Step 6

    Step 6

    ROWS 6,7,8;
    rep ROWS 3,4,5 respectively.

    Keep repeating until you have a square (or run out of yarn!). You should end up with alternating "lines" on each side of the cloth. Finish off and weave in ends.

    P.S. I found that doing a sl.st. into each st through your entire last row will finish the end off very neatly.

    Done! :)
