Materials:

- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
- Measuring tape or ruler
Sizing:
- Small – 6 inches square
- Medium – 8 inches square
- Large – 10 inches square
Abbreviations:

- Slip Stitch (sl st)
- Double Crochet (dc)
- Front Post Double Crochet (fpdc)
- Back Post Double Crochet (bpdc)
Instructions:
Note: All three sizes are worked the same way, only the starting chain is different. To get the color block effect, switch colors when you like…I worked each dishcloth roughly about 3/4 of the way up first, then switched colors.
Small – Chain 22
Medium – Chain 26
Large – Chain 32
Row 1: In the 3rd ch from the hook work a dc. Work a dc in each ch across.
Row 2: Ch 3 and turn. *Work a fpdc in the next st. Work a bpdc in the next st. Repeat from * to the end of the row, then work a dc in the topmost chain (third chain up) to finish off the row.
Repeat row 2 until the height is the same as the width. If you’d like to make a hanging loop, do not fasten off yarn and ch 8. Join with a slip stitch at the base of the chain to create the loop, then fasten off. Weave in any ends that remain.
