Hello. This is a beautiful washcloth but I believe there’s an error. You state the stitch multiple is 6+1, yet you have a starting chain of 56, which doesn’t match the multiple. I’ve tried several times and can’t get the pattern to come out right.
The first row has 55 stitches, which is a multiple of 6+1. If you are having another problem, you’ll have to let me know what’s stumping you.
