Just the Way You Are
A square dishcloth, knitted in the round, from the outside in, featuring a picot cast on, an openwork border, and a garter stitch body, shaped by regular raglan type decreases.
Put two of my dishcloth patterns into your cart and pay for only one! No code needed.
The pattern comes with charts as well as round by round written instructions, and directions on how to resize it into a larger item, e.g. baby blanket. An online version of the chart and its round by round instructions, with a progress tracker by Stitch Fiddle, is also included.
Just the Way You Are is a dishcloth that is taking full advantage of the simple beauty of garter stitch, with only a decorative cast on and some basic openwork to give it a lovely overall look.
With easy size adjustments it can also turn into something larger: a rug, placemat, baby blanket etc.
