The pattern includes a Chart, written instruction row by row, Photo instructions for the basic stitches. Pattern for left handed persons included. **About the Design** This pattern is worked in overlay mosaic crochet using two contrasting colors referred to as Color A and Color B, allowing you to personalize your palette while maintaining clear visual definition. • Stitch Count: 37 stitches wide × 41 rows tall (excluding starting chain and border stitches) • Finished Size: approx. 50.71 x 42.5 cm. (20.29 x 17 inch.) when gauge is aprox.14-16 (see table below). Of course, you can use a smaller or bigger hook size. • Skill Level: Beginner • Pattern Type: Small/Medium project ________________________________________ **Materials** • Yarn in two colors required (see below for the yarn requirements) o For a dishcloth I advise you to use cotton yarn. • Additional Supplies: crochet hook (depending on your wishes for an average size use size 3mm), tapestry needle, scissors Exact yardage will depend on yarn brand and personal tension. ________________________________________ **Gauge** Your gauge will affect final size and yarn usage. I advise you to make a swatch of at least 20 stitches and rows so you know what you gauge is with the yarn you like to use. Then measure in the center of the swatch how many stitches there are in 10x10 cm (4x4 inch). This way you can also aim on the size of the dishcloth as you like. If you like the project to be slightly bigger, you can choose a bigger hook size and/or use heaver yarn. **Your Gauge** Stitches and Rows, Estimated project size in cm and inch 18 - 20 = 22 x 21 cm. 9 x 8 inch. 16 - 18 = 25 x 23 cm. 10 x 9 inch. 14 - 16 = 29 x 26 cm. 11 x 10 inch. 12 - 14 = 34 x 30 cm. 13 x 12 inch. 11 - 13 = 37 x 32 cm. 14 x 12 inch. ________________________________________ Yarn Requirements (Estimated) For an average gauge of 14 sts × 16 rows per 10 × 10 cm, Project size: approx. 29 × 26 cm (11 × 10 inches). Hooksize 3mm. • Total yarn: approx. 110 – 145 meters (121 – 158 yards) DK cotton Color Breakdown: • Color A: approx. 50.0% of total yardage → ≈ 55 – 72 meters (≈ 60 – 79 yards) • Color B: approx. 50.0% of total yardage → ≈ 55 – 72 meters (≈ 60 – 79 yards) Using a smaller hook size will reduce overall yarn usage; a larger hook or looser tension may increase it. (We assume stitch size is estimated as follows: Single Crochet (sc): 0.055 m – 0.07 m per stitch. Double Crochet (dc): 0.10 m – 0.135 m per stitch.)
