The dishcloth is worked in modified single crochet, alternating front and back loops to create a soft, ridged texture. The apple slice motif is created using basic intarsia or tapestry crochet techniques, so some familiarity with colourwork is recommended.

A link to a video tutorial showing the techniques used is also available.

The sample was made using Drops Paris 100% Cotton in the following shades:

17 (Off White)

67 (Wheat)

12 (Red)

37 (Bordeaux)
