Make 1 for dishcloth and 2 for potholder.
With gray, ch 15.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across(mark this row as right side).
Row 2 - 11: Ch 1, turn, sc in back loop of each st. across. At end of row 11, fasten off.

For Dishcloth. Join black in any corner. Sc around the entire dishcloth doing 3 sc in the corners. Along the bottom(gray)
area in the middle do 5 ch and then continue sc with out skipping a sc on that row. Fasten off and weave in ends.
For Potholder: Holding the 2 pieces together with right sides facing out, join black in any corner. Sc around the entire dishcloth doing 3 sc in the corners. Along the bottom(gray) area in the middle do 10 ch and then continue sc with out skipping a sc on that row. Fasten off and weave in ends.
I like to seal the ends from coming undone in the wash by applying a drop of Aleene's "OK to Wash It"to the yarn ends and let sit until it is dry(clear) and cut off excess yarn.
