Crochet Pattern For the Mini Bean Stitch Dishcloth Washcloth

Yarn: Lilly Sugar ’n Cream 100% Cotton yarn Approx. 100-150 yds
Hook: H-8/5.00
Gauge: Is not critical for this design.

Stitch Guide
CLUSTER = insert hook in st, draw up a loop, 2 loops on hook,  YO insert hook in same st, draw up a loop, 4 loops on hook, YO pull through all 4 loops on hook, CLUSTER made
join w/ = join with
SLP ST = Slip Stitch
CH = Chain
SC = Single Crochet

x = Times; example Repeat 2 x or 2 times; 3 x or 3 times and so on;
in = example “in nxt st” means you will be inserting the hook under the top two loops of the next stitch

Pattern Notes:
Beginning Chain or beginning CH 2 does not count as a stitch
Pic tutorial 1: The Cluster stitch is unique, as each row of stitches has a right/left tilt to it. It is easy to use the CH 1 space to execute the cluster, but it will not give you the right/left tilt. The Pic below is showing where to insert your hook, for the next row of clusters. Pic 1: Notice the arrows are pointing to the “V” where you insert your hook to execute the cluster stitch. You are executing the cluster directly into the cluster st.

Pic. 2 shows the cluster stitch that was made, and it will tilt, when you execute the next Cluster stitch.

Beginning Chain – CH 20 (Chain the Beginning Chain in a loose fashion)

Row 1: SC in 2^nd CH from hook and in each CH across; CH1 and Turn  (This is your foundation, and executing your SC loosely is advised. It will keep the base from curling.) (19 SC)
