The Roman Dishcloth is a practical little knit with seed stitch edges and textured stripes throughout. This free pattern is a great choice for knitters who want to practice alternating knits and purls while making something useful for everyday life.

Knit one for your kitchen or make a coordinating set for a thoughtful handmade gift. The small size also makes it a satisfying project to work on between larger knits.
