Try this reversible stitch pattern to make your next crochet project. Choose to use 2 or more different colors of yarn in your Easy Peasy Blueberry Lime Squeezy Dishcloth. Depending on how many colors of yarn you use, the finished square look completely different! I added a 4 inch square option to the end of the post. The 4 inch square uses 2 colors of yarn instead.
