Free crochet pattern: nubby dishcloth

I know there are a lot of dishcloth patterns out there, but I'm trying to keep things simple since I'm new at writing patterns out.  This cloth should be a great scrubber given it's nubby texture.  Click here to download the pdf pattern or scroll down...

Row 2: Ch 1, turn.  * Sc in first st, tr in next.  Repeat from * across, ending with sc.

I just started crocheting in December and was able to whip up one of these dishcloths in about an hour. I absolutely love the texture! It worked very well tonight washing dishes, I didn't even miss my scrubbie. Thank you for the pattern!

I just started making my first dishcloth. I like this pattern because it looks beefier than most and I like the scrubbing potential. Did you use a cotton yarn. I have only noticed lighter weight cotton, that's why I wondered?

[katie]

Oh my gosh! I am reading this pattern and it's looking just like the picture! I am so excited. Some patterns say "easy" and they aren't! This was easy to follow and it makes sense. Thank you so much for posting this. :)

Thank you for sharing. I really like this. I make all of my own. So prefer them to store bought. So I'm always looking
for something just a little bit different but not too fancy.
