This washcloth design is a friendly nod to weaving endeavors. While certainly not produced on a loom, the project is created with two stitch patterns whose interlaced yarns result in a distinctive fabric. Using two needle sizes and a unique knitting technique, the little herringbone forms a compressed fabric. This dense border frames the more relaxed knit-purl lozenge stitch. These stitch patterns are graphically unified as the triangular motif of the middle area mimics the zig-zag perimeter. The combination of such dramatically different stitch patterns achieves a fascinating effect.
