SPECIAL STITCH

NOTES
• Dishcloth is worked back and forth in rows from one corner diagonally across to opposite corner.

• Increases are worked at beginning and end of every row until side edges measure as long as desired or a little less than half of the yarn has been used. Then decreases are worked at beginning and end of very row until only 3 stitches remain.

• A border is worked all the way around the outer edge.
