Flag Stitch Dishcloth

This dishcloth combines the special stitch, the flag stitch, with the double treble crochet. This is a great pattern for practicing this new stitch. The image is what the rows look like in this pattern. The dishcloth was too big to fit in my scanner. But this is basically what the dishcloth looks like.
