Work up the Bean Pop Dishcloth, a design featuring mini bean stitches and slip stitches for rich texture!
I love the look of this heathered and bright colorway, but sometimes it’s hard to find the right stitches to work well with so much variegation. I thought slip stitches and mini bean stitches showcased both the yarn and the stitches pretty well!
The dishcloth is completed with a simple round of single crochet for a polished finish. I hope you enjoy this pattern!

Turning ch never counts as a st.
To adjust the width of this dishcloth, ch any even number.
