DISHCLOTH

Teresa’s Tips: Must be able to read a graph chart, and be able to carry yarn to do this pattern. The more capable of carrying colors, the least amount of ends you will have to neaten and weave in. The graph is done in three colors, so it is very simple to follow, and handy for those who wish to practice their graph-reading skills. The duck image is seen from both sides as right sides. I have even chosen the trim (reverse sc/crab stitch) with this in mind. The cloth can be flipped either way.

Row 1: (Graph Row 1) With Grey, ch 41, hdc in 3rd ch from hook (skipped 2 ch count as first hdc), hdc in next 38 ch. (40 hdc)

Rows 2-40: Following graph for color changes, ch 2 (counts as first hdc now and throughout), turn, [hdc in next hdc] across. (40 hdc)

At the end of Row 40, finish off and weave in all ends.

Trim

Rnd 1: Join Navy with sl st to bottom corner of Row 1, evenly work reverse sc (crab stitch) all the way around, working 3 rev-sc in each corner; join with sl st to first sc. Finish off and weave in ends.
