I am loving the design of these dishcloths. The wave stitching is made by doing a single crochet, a half-double crochet and 2 double crochets- then back down again in reverse. It is really neat how it works itself out. How fashionable these would be in a basket along side your kitchen sink?! Add color by draping one over the kitchen faucet ready for use.
