Waves 'n' Stripes Reversible Dishcloth

Can't decide what pattern to use when making your next dishcloth? Well here is the solution for you! This pattern produces a dishcloth with a cute striped motif on one side, and flowing waves on the other. It's like making two dishcloths for the price of one!

(I totally had the voice of the "Price is Right" announcer in my head when writing that blurb. Can you tell?) 


The wavy side.

Yarn: One skein of any worsted weight cotton.

Hook: 6.5 mm (K)

Abbreviations:

ch = chain
sc = single crochet
hdc = half-double crochet
dc = double crochet

The stripey side.
Pattern:

To begin, ch 30.*

Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook. (Hdc in next ch, dc in next ch, hdc in next ch, sc in next ch.) Repeat to end of row.

Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), turn. (Hdc in next stitch, sc in next stitch, hdc in next stitch, dc in next stitch.) Repeat to end of row.

Row 3: Ch 1, turn. Work this row in back loops only. Sc in first stitch. (Hdc in next stitch, dc in next stitch, hdc in next stitch, sc in next stitch.) Repeat to end of row.

Repeat rows 2 & 3 until dishcloth reaches desired length (approx. 10 times), finishing with a row 2.

Finish off and darn in ends.

*Or any multiple of 4 + 2.
