This Diamond Stitch Dishcloth/Washcloth has a beautiful design and texture. The texture of the Luna yarn gives for a unique feel, rough yet soft, which will be great for cleaning up in the kitchen or washing your face.

Level of Difficulty – Intermediate Yarn – Cascade Yarns, Luna, 1.75 ozs/50 g/82 yds/75 m, 100% Peruvian Cotton, Color 727 Peach. I used approximately 100 to 120 yds Hook and Notions – Size Hook: H/8 (5.0mm), scissors and yarn needle Measurement – 10-inches wide and 9 ½ -inches high Gauge – 12 stitches and 7 rows = 2 inches Abbreviations BLO = back loop only Ch = chain Dc = double crochet FLO = front loop only Hdc = half double crochet Sc = single crochet Sp = space Notes – The Diamond Stitch looks hard – but once you have worked a few repeats, you’ll see how it’s done and you’ll soon be working without referring to the pattern notes. It is formed by positioning the Front Post Treble Crochet stitches on the front side of project. Chain 1 at beginning of rows counts as the first single crochet of the row. First 4 stitches and last 4 stitches forms the side borders of each row. Special Stitches Front Post Treble Crochet (abbreviated FPtr): yarn over twice, insert hook from front to back around post of stitch indicated, yarn over and pull up a loop (4 loops on hook), (yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook) 3 times. Seed Stitch – work a single crochet and a double crochet in the indicated stitch, skip the next stitch.
