Crochet Dishcloth Free Pattern #3
!!!FREE PATTERN!!!
But I told myself that I could do it and I did. Because I like the HARDINESS of the fabric that crochet makes I chose to use that method of stitching for my dishcloths. Figuring it wouldn't be very hard to pick a few stitch patterns that looked cool I pulled out my Crochet Stitch Bible and began to work them up.

Hi Marly! Great dishcloth!
I know how to crochet, but I just realized I don't know much about crochet equipment, specifically hooks! :)
I know that in the states you have sizes labeled with the alphabet; in Canada we use the metric system. What is the 8? You have H/8 5mm in your explanation. Is it 8.5mm or is it H/8 or is the 8 a different sizing system? Thanks in advance for the clarification. :)
BTW, when I first heard your name on your podcast, I thought of marbleized finishes on paper (often wallpaper) and of subtle barber-pole yarn. Your parents must have know that you'd be a fibre-nut (if you don't mind me calling you that) to give you such a fitting name. :)
Later,
Stitch Stud (Charles)
