Instructions
Row 1: Ch 3, *dc in 3rd ch from hook, ch 3. Repeat from * till you have 9"bumps". Then turn, make sure the ch3's are at the top of the row. This is what you will crochet onthroughout the project.

Row 2: *Ch3, dc in 3rd ch from hook, Scin center of ch3 of next bump. See picture for detail asto where to place the hook. Rep from * across. Ch2, sc inlast ch which is actually the very first ch you made atthe very beginning of project. Turn.

Row 3: This is the pattern row. *Ch3, dcin 3rd ch from hook, sc in center of ch3 of next bump.Rep from * accross ending with a sc in last bump. Turn.Repeat this row throughout dishcloth.

This produces a delicate looking edge all the way around.You may want to add a row of sc all the way around togive it a finished look. I did in the example. If you do,work (2 sc, ch1, 2 sc) in eachcorner, 2 sc in each row onthe left and right sides and 2 sc in each bump on thebottom and top.

Fasten off and weave ends into work.
