Pattern

Ch 20

Make a foundation row, after finishing the forward pass you will have 21 loops on your hook, and 1 loop left after finishing the return pass.

Follow diagram for the pattern.

Both TSS and TRS are used in one row in groups of 2 stitches. Every row the group of stitches shifts to the left. In this way you get very soft diagonal waves in your dishcloth. Work the described stitches as shown in the diagram.

To finish your dishcloth make a finishing row after row 20 but keep in mind to insert your hook either in a TSS way or a TRS way to keep your stitch pattern intact.

Do not fasten off, chain 1 and sc 3 times into the corner of your dishcloth. Single crochet once in each stitch or row end and make 3 sc stitches in the other corners.

Fasten off.

Enjoy your dishcloth!
