Sunburst Dishcloth
(use your browser's print button to print this patterns)
I made this 6-sided dishcloth in a varigated yellow yarn. It uses the cobble stitch ( sc and tr), which is one of my favourite stitches for dishcloths! It makes such a nice "scrubber"! You can't really see these stitches in the picture, but they're there!
