A rectangle shaped dishcloth, knitted flat, from the bottom up. The piece is framed by a garter stitch border, and the body consists of a reverse stockinette stitch background with a lace insert.

Put two of my dishcloths into your cart and pay for only one! No code needed.

The pattern comes with charts as well as row by row written instructions, and instructions on how to change size for a larger item with the same stitch pattern.

A versatile pattern with simple elegance. A quick knit with mostly basic knit and purl stitches, disrupted by a single column of lace that elevates it to something truly pleasing to look at.
And with easy adjustability it can be so much more than a dishcloth, it can be a placemat, a blanket, a table runner, pretty much anything.
