I want to show you the simple edging I've been using on my granny square dishcloths. This first picture shows the completed granny square. This pattern is Abigail's 4H granny square dishcloth, with a couple of rows of contrast colored yarn included in it. End the square and weave in the ends.
Attach contrasting colored yarn in any corner and chain three.
Put 2 dc in the corner space immediately below the ch-3.
Put a sc in the next space.
Chain 3.
In the same space, put 2 dc.
Sc in the next space.
Ch 3, 2 dc in same space. Continue across the side putting (sc, ch 3, 2 dc) in each space until you reach the corner space.
Sc in the corner space.
2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in the same corner space.
Continue around the edge of the dishcloth, putting (sc, ch 3, 2 dc) in each space and (sc, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in each corner space. When you reach the last (technically the first) corner, put (sc, 2 dc, ch 2) in that space. Finish off with a slip stitch in the top of the original ch-3. Fasten off and weave in the ends.
That's it!
