Hello!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful pattern! I am making gifts for all the Nurses where my husband is undergoing chemo therapy . It is Nurse appreciation week and I am including this cloth in a spa basket for all the great nurses there! It turned out so beautiful!

I love that the size is easily changed to suit different needs, and it’s a great cloth for Kitchen or Bath.

Using the Slip stitch took a little getting used to. I kept trying to do a single crochet instead. LOL! But all in all, I love this and will use it again.

Thanks!

Hi again! I think you are reading the breakdown incorrectly. The hdc only equals 1 stitch. You are only making 1 hdc, not 2 next to each other. Try re-reading it and taking your time

Here’s the breakdown for row 1: Row 1 reads…

Row 1: ch 22, sl st in third ch from hook, (hdc in next ch, sl st in next ch) across, ending with a hdc in last ch: 10 hdc, 10 sl st

ch 22 – So you are starting with 22 chains
sl st in third ch from hook – you are skipping 2 chains and making a slip stitch into the third chain, so you’re making 1 sl st, and using up 3 of the 22 chains

Then here’s the repeat…
hdc in next ch – you are making 1 hdc, and using 1 ch
sl st in next ch – you are making 1 sl st, and using 1 ch
You’ll work the repeat a total of 9 times (22 – 3 – 1 = 18, 18/2 = 9), so you’ll have a total of 9 hdc, and 9 sl st, and have used 18 chains

Then at the end you are going to be…
ending with a hdc in last ch – you are making 1 hdc, and using 1 ch

So the total stitch count for the row is 1+9= 10 sl st, and 9+1 = 10 hdc, and you would have used 3+18+1= 22 chains that you made at the beginning.

Let me know which part you get stuck on and I’ll try and explain it further for you!

Hi Deborah, it looks like the pattern is alternating hdc and sl st. So your stitches will go like…hdc, sl st, hdc, sl st, hdc, st st, etc.
Half of the stitches will be hdc and the other half will the sl st, that’s how there is only 10 of each stitch on the row.
