This is an interesting dishcloth pattern! If you notice, all the little triangles make one big triangle! There are so many color combinations that you can come up with for this dishcloth. I agree with didough's comment that this would also make a great pattern for pendant flags. You can change the hook size to make the dishcloth a larger or smaller size.

A good pattern for making a strip of pendant flags too ...

This would be fun to stitch the sides together and stuff it to make a 3-D triangle baby toy too! Thanks for the great pattern and ideas.
