This dishcloth is both pretty and functional. It uses a suzette stitch for the body of the dishcloth but incorporates some texture to give it a bit of extra scrubbing power by using back loop only stitches to create ridges through the middle. A crab stitch, also known as a reverse single crochet (USA) or reverse double crochet (UK) creates a textured cable-like border which also adds some scrubbing power. Links to tutorials for both the Suzette Stitch and the Crab Stitch are provided in the pattern.
