Smaller Short Row Dishcloth
This is a pretty common pattern I’ve tweaked. Most versions I found were a little too big for me. I like something that’s just a little bit larger than my hand. These come out to about 7 inches diameter once I’ve washed them. I keep a pile of them by the kitchen sink for quick drying or wiping down counters instead of paper towels. They even make decent pot holders or coasters for various messy kitchen things. Like the dish soap.
After knitting a few of them I started working out an invisible seam. I think I’ve come up with a fairly easy and good looking way to do it. Thus, the perfectly placed kitchener!
I also had fun today making red and white striped versions that look kind of like peppermint candies. Instead of a yarn over, I increased with a make one. I started with the white yarn for one repeat before changing to the red yarn. After that I knit one repeat in red and two in white until I had 15 repeats. That’s one less than the pattern called for but it worked. The last white section is only one repeat so it makes two when stitched or grafted to the first
