Dishcloth Duo

Getting Started
This project was inspired by a request for a pattern from Marikos web log found at www.supereggplant.com. It is based on a pattern from a Japanese web site and translated based on pictures only. The dishcloth pattern, is my version of the traditional pattern to make a set.

A two-color version can be created by alternating colors every two rows. The Scrubby is often done in acrylic yarn, as it appears to have more scrubbing power!
