This pattern is for anyone who’s knitted a mitered square, then looked at it and said, “Sure, this is great… but what if it could be funkier?” (Anyone? Just me?) Meandering Miter innovates on a classic shape, producing a fun-to-knit, fun-to-look-at dishcloth that will be perfectly at home in the kitchens of novelty-seekers everywhere. (I won’t go so far as to claim it’s fun to use, but if you have to drag yourself through a chore as arduous and Sisyphean as the dishes, well, a little bit of whimsy never hurt.)
