Allemande Dishcloths - Tunisian Striped Mitered Dishcloths
"A soft, supple dishcloth in two or three colors that can easily be squished down into a tall glass for a sudsy washing experience. Can also be used for a face and body washer, a kitchen doily, a trivet, or wall décor. This design is worked in two sections. The first section is a decreasing triangle. Then the work is pivoted and an increasing triangle is worked into the stitches along the edge of the first triangle. This move resembles the “Allemande” move in square dancing. "
