Mixed stitch dishcloth

I love to make dishcloths, hot pads and washcloths out of cotton yarn. I have made several of these but unfortunately never took any pictures. I will try to make another one and add a picture at a later time. These are easy to make and work up fast. Hope you try this pattern.
