For Dishcloth. Join black in any corner. Sc around the entire dishcloth doing 3 sc in the corners. Along the bottom(gray) area in the middle do 5 ch and then continue sc with out skipping a sc on that row. Fasten off and weave in ends.
For Potholder: Holding the 2 pieces together with right sides facing out, join black in any corner. Sc around the entire dishcloth doing 3 sc in the corners. Along the bottom(gray) area in the middle do 10 ch and then continue sc with out skipping a sc on that row. Fasten off and weave in ends.
I like to seal the ends from coming undone in the wash by applying a drop of Aleene's "OK to Wash It"to the yarn ends and let sit until it is dry(clear) and cut off excess yarn.
