I figured it was time to put some of my English major nerdiness to work and am going to make literary dishcloth “patterns” for a laugh. This is my first. Wash the body electric with your own Walt Whitman inspired cloth!

I am my own test knitta, so please let me know if you find errors. I appreciate it!

PDF Updated 2/27/09. If you downloaded this on 2/26, take note of this pattern correction:

EDIT: Rows 5 & 6 should have 4 border stitches before the knit (row 5) and purl (row 6) across to the last 4 stitches, make border again. Will upload corrected PDF 2/28.
