Today's the Day

A square dishcloth, knitted flat, from the bottom up. The pattern has a garter stitch border, enveloping a textured/openwork stitch pattern. **Put two of my dishcloths into your cart and pay for only one! No code needed.** **The pattern comes with charts as well as row by row written instructions, and directions on how to resize it into a larger item, e.g. baby blanket.** A very effective, showy pattern that is surprisingly easy to knit. Works up fast from a little amount of yarn, making it ideal as a relaxing project in between larger ones, a quick gift item, or a practice piece to use the same stitch pattern in something larger: it can become an attractive scarf, a market bag, a potholder, a rug, a placemat, a (baby) blanket, or whatever else you fancy.
