Hey Ya! Channel OutKast and shake it like a… self-developing instant picture! Liven up a kitchen or bath with this fun, quick dishcloth pattern featuring beginner level intarsia.

Before you run away at the mere thought of intarsia, let this pattern ease your fears. First, it’s just a dishcloth! Second, the transition between colors is also where the stitches change from stockinette to garter which is much more forgiving than plain stockinette.



You haven’t tried intarsia yet?
