Free Pattern: Scrubbing Dishcloth

Dish cloths are a great way to try out stitch patterns. I recently designed a new bag and I think the stitch combo would make a nice blanket. I thought I would test a similar sequence worked in rows (instead of in the round like the bag). It gives a different look, but one I LOVE for this cloth. One side has ridges and the other shows off the clusters. I hope you will enjoy this textured cloth pattern.
