You’ll need a Tunisian hook--it’s in Tunisian crochet, but gauge is not important. Any worsted weight unmercerized cotton will work.

A few more yarn suggestions:

• Peaches and Cream
• Knit Picks CotLin

Other yarns and weights would be good for using the stitch pattern for other projects.

The pattern is not currently charted, but if you are willing to make a chart of publishable quality, I would be glad to put one up.

From the pattern description:
When I was quite a bit younger, I was once charmed by the loft in my uncle’s cabin. He has moved and divorced since then, but I still remember the compliment my then-aunt lavished on the in-progress first dishcloth I made with this pattern. (On a later visit than the loft, but still… )

Designer’s note: OOPS! Erratum to be corrected when I get a better picture to put in the pattern: Repeat rows 1-7 to desired length. Sorry! (This occurs in both the Ravelry PDF and the document on Scribd.)
