Materials:
Worsted weight acrylic yarn (I used Red Heart Super Saver), approx. 1 oz each of 2 colors; size H aluminum crochet hook (I used a Boye hook) OR Size Needed for Gauge
.
Gauge:
Rnds 1 & 2 = about 2" across
.
Finished Size:
12" square
.
Special Stitches: See first part of Original pattern (link below)
.
Notes:
This square was created using a dishcloth pattern designed by Drew Emborsky (the Crochet Dude), who is another Greatly Gifted crochet designer, in my humble opinion!  :o)  With his permission, I've created a 12" square from this dishcloth and gladly provided the link to his original pattern.  Thanks, Dude - you ROCK!!  :o)
.
Square may need blocking when finished.  To do this, I usually mist the square (front and back) with water from a spray bottle and lay out on a flat surface, pinning to shape if needed.  Allow enough time for square to air dry completely.
