Happy Freebie Friday again fellow crochet friends! I hope you all had a great week! In this weeks installment of Freebie Friday is the free Criss Cross Dishcloth pattern. This dishcloth features the Criss Cross Crochet Stitch (CC for short). It's fairly simple to do, as I explain below in the pattern notes. If you haven't noticed yet, I love working with new crochet stitches! The Criss Cross stitch isn't new to me but I've only used it in one or two other patterns. But I love the look and texture of it! Once again, I am using Peaches and Cream yarn. It's a #4, Worsted Weight cotton yarn. I highly recommend using a cotton yarn for dishcloths because it tends to hold up to the wear and tear better then synthetic or other yarns do. Are you ready for this pattern? Let's get into it then!
