Clarita Dishcloth
"Clarita Dishcloth is a waffle stitch crochet dishcloth perfect for retro pink kitchen dreams! The texture is really great for scrubbing dishes and. A set makes a lovely housewarming gift for a friend, family member, new neighbor, or for yourself. Difficulty Level: Intermediate Finished Measurements: Dishcloth, about 6 3/4 inches square after blocking; Hotpad, about 7 inches square. Yarn: King Cole Cottonsmooth DK (100% Mercerized Cotton; 218 yds; 100 g; yarn weight category: 2/Fine/Sport) About 60 yds #3522 Pale Pink. This yarn is labeled as a 3/DK/Light. At 19 WPI it falls closer to a 2/Fine/Sport weight yarn. If you are substituting with a different yarn, use one in this smaller weight category for best results. Also, Cottonsmooth DK is labeled as machine wash, dry flat. However, I have both machine washed and dried it with good results. Crochet Hook: F (3.75 mm), or size needed to match gauge. Notions: Tapestry needle Gauge: 20 sts x 11 rows = About 4 inches in 3 x 1 Waffle Stitch."
