Double Lemon Peel Stripe Dishcloth

Not that long ago I shared the pattern for the Double Lemon Peel Dishcloth.  This is a version of that pattern that includes rows of single crochet to show off the pretty texture of the double lemon peel stitch.  The single crochet rows could be done in a second yarn to really highlight the stripes.  

The cream-colored one pictured above was done with a slightly narrower cotton yarn using a size H hook.  The green variegated pictured below is a slightly thicker cotton yarn so I used a size I crochet hook.  You can see that because of the hook size, I needed a different number of rows to make the dishcloth square.  Review the notes below the pattern to adjust your dishcloth if needed.

Supplies:

Cotton yarn

Crochet hook size H (Size I)

Yarn needle

Scissors

Abbreviations:

ch = chain

sc = single crochet

dc=double crochet

st = stitch

sts = stitches

hk = hook

Notes: 

• The turning chain does not count as a stitch.
• Gauge is not important.  Continue the repeats until your dishcloth is square.
• In the second double lemon peel row the single crochet stitches are above the double crochet stitches and the double crochet stitches are placed above the single crochet stitches.
• To change the size, use a starting chain of a multiple of 4 +1

Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hk, sc in ch across, ch 1, turn (28 stitches)

If you start with a different number of chains in your foundation row, continue repeating rows 3-6 until your dishcloth is square or desired size.
