Basic information about how to do the Tunisian (aka: Afghan stitch) crochet stitch is included.

Gauge is not important with this project. This design was made with DK weight yarn. If you would like a larger or smaller dishcloth, you can use a different weight yarn and crochet hook appropriate to the yarn you choose.

This is Variation 1: In this version you work the first strip of squares, cut the yarn and with the same side (right side) facing you, you will attach your yarn and work the second strip of squares. When you complete the second strip of squares you will cut the yarn and with the right side facing you, you will attach your yarn and you will work the third strip of squares, and so on. This version is done by cutting the yarn at the end of each strip and reattaching the yarn at the beginning of the next strip. You will always have the right side facing you.
