Knit a Dishcloth

lI love to use hand-knit dishcloths. I am not a master-knitter, but I can cast on and off, knit, and purl. That's all you need to know to make these useful, absorbent dishcloths. Why have idle hands when you can make these for yourself or as little gifts for others?

  • Yarn: Bernat Handicrafter Cotton in any color of your choice
  • Needles: 4 mm

K - Knit
