Belted Stripes is a fun and visually interesting twist on the simple stripe pattern, making good use of a few slipped stitches. It can be made in two colors as shown or in one color if a solid dishcloth is desired. It is very easy and is a good choice for beginner knitters. The high relief textures makes for a very useful dishcloth.
