About the Dishcloth in Suzette Stitch
My absolute favorite stitch to look at in crocheted dishcloths is the Suzette stitch. It stays nice in shape: When the cloth is brand new, it is nice and square and it still keeps its shape after several washes. It has a nice graphic zig-zag look.
When I make dishcloths, I do not make a border. I think a border gives it a very soft look and I am quite fond of a raw border. It requires that you crochet completely straight and with the same firmness throughout the cloth, so you get a tight look. The pictures here in the pattern are without a border.
If you want to make an border, you can make it with single crochet all the way around. Make 3-4 single crochets together in the corner, so it will be square. Make it one side at a time, and check it – make more / less is if it is too tight / loose. A border is a good idea, if you are not so experienced yet and would like to hide small flaws. Or if you just think it gives a nicer finish 🙂

Washing tip: Vinegar bath
Before washing your Dishcloth in Suzette Stitch for the first time, put them in vinegar water. That will minimize fading of colors and the absorbency is improved when you use them for the first time … And have we not all been in the situation with a brand new cloth that is so fresh that no water can enter. Then you stand there and try to mix yarn with water and something so simple becomes so complicated …
A mixing ratio is approx. 1 splash of vinegar to 8 splashes of cold water.
Wash them according to the yarn’s washing instructions. Or according to my instructions which are 60 degrees (90 degrees if it is white), no matter what the washing instructions say (if it is 100% cotton). It is at your own risk (I have to say), but then you are sure of clean cloths. You may risk them fading slightly in color.
I have made some helpful videos that should make it easier for you to understand the pattern. It’s just usually easier in live pictures
