 Thick And Thirsty Dishcloth 
Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs

The Technique For The Thick And Thirsty Dishcloth

 makes a very dense cloth which makes it very absorbent.

 That's Why we called it 'thick And thirsty".

We are stitching half Double Crochet stitches, 

but stitching them through the front, back and 3rd loop.

 This is what give the cloth it's thickness.

This Technique also works great for hot pads and

 pot holders.  It is safe for working with hot items,  

because it is thick and does not have holes. 

It will protect your hands and surfaces.

This Cloth is so easy to adjust to any size because 

there is no multiples. Just add more chains for width, 

and add more rows for length. Measure as you go.

I also really like the way it stitches up when alternating

 two colors of yarn. And it has a little bit of texture

 for scrubbing and cleaning.
