TUNISIAN CROCHET PATTERN

This fun and modern set of two striped dishcloths are worked in Tunisian Crochet Simple Stitch. Color changes are made on the return pass, which gives the fabric a woven, homespun look. A simple single crochet border is then added to finish it off.

Two patterns are included - one for alternating 2 different colors and the second for alternating 3 different colors.

A worsted weight 100% cotton yarn is recommended. Knit Picks “Dishie” and Hobby Lobby “Crafter’s Secret Cotton” yarns were used in the pattern photos.
