This pattern includes instructions in a written form as well as chart form. Gauge is not important with this project. This design was made with worsted weight yarn. If you would like a larger or smaller dishcloth, you can use a different weight yarn and knitting needle appropriate to the yarn you choose. This pattern looks best when using a knitting needle a size smaller than you would normally use for the weight of the yarn. 09/04/12 - New version posted. The information in the pattern is correct, for some strange reason I had Row 7 listed before Row 6. Thanks to amgoth2000 for letting me know.
