The Daily Dishcloth is a perfect knitting project for beginners, and anyone who is looking for a quick and classic handknit for their home (or to gift!).

It is a cotton dishcloth made from just the basic knit and purl stitches to make a seed stitch border around a center square of garter stitch. The pattern knits up quickly with just 35-45 grams of worsted or aran weight cotton yarn, so you can get two dishcloths out of just one 100g cotton skein.
