This dishcloth knits up quickly. It has a nice firm texture. You can use any kind of cotton yarn. If you use thicker yarn, this may also be used as a potholder.

The second picture was taken before blocking. Doesn’t the dishcloth look like entwined sleeves with cuffs? - It takes some water and stretching to make the sleeves turn into squares.
This is a written pattern. It was inspired by “Four-Square Checker Board Cushion Cover”, also available on rvelry (for more information see: http://hmfrost.blogspot.com/).
