Fall is my favorite season, and I love when leaves change colors and when they crunch under my feet on the ground! This pattern is a fun, fast project that is sure to bring a smile to your face as you make it, and use it. And you can spread smiles by giving a knit dishcloth to someone else! Using just knits and purls, bring to life a leaf in the center of this washcloth.

NOTE: I like the way a seed stitch border lays and the texture it provides for scrubbing. You could easily replace it with a garter stitch border instead if you prefer. To do so, knit rows 1-3, knit the first three and last three stitches on rows 4-34 and knit rows 35-37

This pattern would also be suitable for a potholder/trivet
or displayed as a decorative table or shelf mat.

Needles & Notions

• US 8 (5mm) needles
• Tapestry or Yarn Needle
• 2 Stitch markers (optional)

NOTE If you want to use stitch markers, add them at the seed stitch border (between third and fourth stitches on both edges)

Gauge
16 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches (20cm) in Stockinette

NOTE: Gauge is not critical for this project. If you knit tight, go up a needle size, if you knit loose, go down a needle size
