This one is really called “Round Link Cables” in Barbara Walker’s Third Treasury of Knitting Patterns, but mine came out more like the wheels on an old steam locomotive (OK- if you hold it sideways). The cloth is large, thick, and deeply textured. A bit of a handful for dishes, in my opinion, but it would make a capital washcloth.

I used Knitpicks Dishie. If you prefer to use a thicker yarn such as Peaches & Creme, I would go up to knitting needles #6, and make the cloth with four cables rather than five. Otherwise it might turn into a bath towel!
