Tic Tac Toe Dishcloth

This dishcloth is a modified version of Ocean Weave Crochet Dishcloth by Wendi Cusins and Maggie Weldon.




I used a worsted weight cotton yarn and a size H hook.

EDGING
You can make any style edging you want. In the picture above I did two rounds of sc. Be sure to weave both the strip and the dishcloth together while edging.
