Lion Brand^® Recycled Cotton

GAUGE:

16 stitches = 4 in. (10 cm) in pattern. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

dc3tog (Yarn over, insert hook into next st and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops) 3 times, yarn over and pull through all 4 loops on hook.

NOTES:

1) Yarn amount is sufficient for one of each Dishtowel.
2) Stripe Sequence is worked once for each Dishtowel.
