1. Fasten off.

2. WithMe signature heart

The same little heart sits on every WithMe original — our way of signing it with love. Use any contrast colour from the project.

• Round 1: 3 tr, 3 dc, ch, tr, ch, 3 dc, 3 tr in a magic ring [15] — Ch 3 first (it doesn't count as a stitch). After the last stitch, ch 3 and sl st into the ring, then pull the ring tight — the dip at the top of the heart forms as you pull.

1. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing the heart in place.

Finishing

1. Weave in all loose ends securely on the wrong side of the work.
2. Sew the small signature WithMe heart in dusty rose onto the bottom right corner of the blush section, ensuring it is centered and straight.
3. Block the dishcloth lightly if desired to open up the bobble stitches and perfect the scalloped edge.

Tips from the WithMe studio

• Use 100% cotton yarn for the best absorbency and durability in the kitchen.
• When working the bobble stitch, pull up your loops to the height of a double crochet before yarn over and pulling through, to keep the texture uniform and neat.
