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.

Random Quick Tip!
Sewn CD TrivetsYou can make great trivets by using old CD's and heavy fabric. Make 2 circles of heavy fabric & 2circles of terry towel fabric 1" bigger in diameter than the CD.Then layer the pieces in the following way. Heavy fabric, right side down, terry towel, CD, terry towel, heavy fabric right side up. Hand baste the layers together 3/8" away from the edges being carful not to hit the CD. Then on your sewing machine, work a zigzag around the edges to lock in the frayed edges. Then you can use a decorative crochet thread or yarn and a hand needle to work a blanket stitch around the edge. Then if you wanted to, you can work a row of crochet stitches around on the blanket stitches.
