Waffle Stitch Dishcloth
Designed by Julie A. Bolduc
This dishcloth uses the featured stitch, the Waffle Stitch. It is a little over sized so that after it is washed and dried, it will shrink to the average size. The texture of this dishcloth lends itself well for scrubbing dishes clean. This same pattern could be made with nylon plastic canvas yarn for even more scrubbing power.

Peaches & Creme cotton worsted weight yarn.
Star brights is the color
Size H aluminum crochet hook
yarn needle
Yarn Thickness: 3mm
Gauge: 4dc per inch

Random Quick Tip!
Rotary Cutting Paper Bead Strips & FabricIf you use a rotary cutter, quilt ruler and cutting mat to cut your paper into strips for making paper beads, add a 4-5 pound weight to the top of your ruler to help keep it's place while using the rotary cutter. The weight will help keep the ruler in place. I also use mine when I am cutting fabric!
