Now on to Week 3 – Bavarian Stitch Dishcloth!

This week there is a photo tutorial and a video link for the stitch style from my good friend Pia at Stitches N Scraps! The video is showing her guide through the stitches, our pattern will have more stitches and rows, and I made them in single color, she uses multiple colors for the visual effect.

Be patient, the first rows are a bit harder to get going if you haven’t done this before… But after you get the hang of it… you will be so happy you tried!
