For accessibility this pattern is available in my etsy shop and Payhip shop. This little picture cloth uses textured knit and purl stitches to create dimension. The little bumps have a technical name: nupps. In needle knitting, nupps have a scary reputation, but they are very easy to work on a knitting loom. The pattern is written step-by-step, line by line. A chart is included as well, if you want to use it, but it is not necessary to knit the cloth. Each line of the chart is two rows, working in both directions. The chart is color-coded instead using symbols, for easier reference.

Sizes: 6.25, 7, or 8.75 inches square (1/4 fine gauge loom, 3/8 fine gauge loom or 3/8 small gauge loom)

Looms: 34 pegs flat knit on a ¼ fine gauge, 3/8 fine gauge or 3/8 small gauge loom; sample made on 3/8 small gauge loom

Stitch Gauge: ¼ fine gauge 6 stitches by 12 rows equal inch; 3/8 fine gauge 5 stitches by 10 rows equal inch; 3/8 small gauge 4 stitches by 8 rows equal inch in garter stitch

My patterns are low vision accessible. The text is black, Arial and large print 24 point font. All of the directions are fully written out and no charts are relied on to complete the patterns. No italics are used. They are screen reader and tablet friendly.
