"This is a beautiful dishcloth pattern. You can make some for yourself and some for gifts. The basic pattern is easy and the picot trimming adds the perfect touch. You can have an elegant dishcloth in the bathroom. I always have to be knitting, crocheting or both and sometimes I just want a pattern that works up quickly and is practical to boot. Thank you."

"This is a great introduction to lace stitches. Why not put them in a dishcloth. You sometimes needs something pretty to do those dishes. This pattern will get added to my dishcloth pattern collection. I make them now instead of buying them. I learned to buy a better cotton though or else the colors fade. Thank you."

"I have never seen this stitch before and I had to watch the video to understand how it was done. Not hard but the video helped. I would think this would texture to the washcloth which always is a plus. I make dishcloths as opposed to buying them so this would be a nice addition to my collection. It is pretty too as well as efficient. Thank you."

"I have made a few of these diagonal dishcloths and they are easy to make. They work up quickly and the best thing is you can wash them. I would use a good cotton because the colors fade with the cheaper cotton. It is worth the bit of extra money. No need to buy dishcloths again. Thank you."

"You see a pattern like this and you think, "why didn't I think of that?" Well I didn't and I am so glad someone did. All you have to buy is some nice cotton yarn and you can make your own facials scrubbies. They are getting expensive so in the long run you save yourself some money. Just wash them like everything else and you are all set. Easy pattern. Will work up quickly. Thank you."

I have ripped this pattern out 3 times because I lose stitches as I go but I haven't figured it out yet. Is anybody else having this problem???

I had to give up on this blanket . Starting with row 9 pattern seems incorrect to me.

I am confused about 3 of the abbreviations used in this pattern--what are the differences between yrn (Row 1), yfwd (Row 3-especially as it occurs between knit stitches!), and yon (Row 9)????

I went to the bernat website and found that yfwd means yarn forward, yon means yarn over needle (another way to say yarn over) and yrn means yarn round needle. I don't know if this helps. I am not sure what the exact difference between these last 2 are.

This comment is applies to all who post knitting and crochet patterns. When giving yarn information, the weight and length of the yarn in each skein would be nice as that is the information required for any yarn substitutions. Stating the yarn is "(350 g / 12.3 oz)" as stated in this pattern only gives us the weight of the skein, not the length of the yarn in the skein, as grams and oz (ounces) are weight measurements. What about how many yards or meters are in the skein, too - that would be a more complete description for yarn substitutions. I can't believe how many patterns I see on this site, and its affiliates, that give incomplete yarn information. Aren't people aware of what's needed for their own craft? Please, don't let this country descend deeper into ignorance and loss of knowledge, or how to communicate appropriate and accurate information

I agree that accuracy is important. According to the bernat web site, there are 1256 yards in the regular and 893 yards in the ombre
