Star stitch gives incredible texture and adding extra color dials up the drama! Gorgeous in a single shade or striped with a full rainbow, this dishcloth adds a little flair to any kitchen décor.

3 skeins of Shine Sport will make 3 dishcloths, with each color taking a turn as the main color.

Star Stitch involves working a P3tog, YO, and another P3tog into the SAME 3 stitches. This maneuver can feel a little clumsy at first, but after just a few times you’ll find it smoother and easier to work.
