Bumpy Dishcloths

 If you're wanting to make a quick, inexpensive gift, dishcloths are an option.  Patterns for dishcloths abound.  I designed this one using triple crochet (tc) stitches to give it texture, which can help with scrubbing. The corner loop allows you to hang them.

These were made using Sugar and Cream twists cotton yarn with a J hook.  When finished they measure 11" x 11".  After
washing they shrink to being
10" x 10". 


Here's the pattern:

Ch 28

Row 1: sc in 2^nd ch from hook, sc across, ch 1, turn

Row 2: sc, (tc, sc) x 13, ch 1, turn

Row 3: sc across, ch 1, turn

Row 4: sc, sc, (tc, sc) x 12, sc, ch 1 turn

Row 5: sc across, ch 1, turn

Repeat Rows 2-5  six times, so that there are 12 rows of bumps. 

Border:

Round 1: sc around with 3 sc in each corner

Round 2: sc around with 3 sc in each corner

Loop: at final corner, sc, ch 18 tightly, sc in same corner, slip stitch and fasten off.
