Okay, it’s also a dish cloth (and thick enough to be a pot holder) but I love a punny name!

I belong to a mystery dishcloth KAL group. Recently a member asked why there wasn’t something like the wonderful garterlac dishcloth, but with right-angle squares instead of tilting entrelac blocks?

Why not indeed. I picked up my favorite dishcloth needles (size 6) and grabbed some Cotton-ease.

This fun cloth is worked clockwise from the center out, picking up each new square from the previous squares. By the time you are finished you will be an expert in picking up stitches and knitting a slipped selvedge edge. You’ll also use Judy’s magic cast on, the backward-loop cast on, binding off and weaving in ends. No seams!

There are no charts, but there’s a picture for each step.
