My first pattern! - Pyramid Dishcloth

I've enjoyed making dishcloths recently and wanted one that was a bit more "airy". I came up with this pattern. Feel free to use this pattern as you wish but please don't republish it.

You may link back to my blog if you desire to share the pattern.

Thanks to the wonderful ladies at C'ville who tested this pattern for me and who gave me tips to make the pattern easier to follow!
