Notes:
- Stitch multiple: 6
- Initial ch 2 counts as 1 dc.
- When I work into the foundation chain, I prefer working into the back bar (back bump) of the chain. Feel free to work in the back loop instead if you prefer.
- To make this dishcloth longer, work more repeat rows.
- To make this dishcloth wider, chain more stitches using the stitch multiple.
