Welcome to our May Challenge!
This month I designed a dishcloth for you to take
advantage of those partial skeins of yarn that you have on hand!
NOTE:
one
suggestion for knitting with different colors of yarn, you can use a colored
pencil or hi-liter on the pattern rows, so you are reminded to change color of
yarn you are using
Supplies:
# 7 knitting needles, or your preferred size
1 skein solid color cotton yarn = Color A
3 partial skeins of different solid cotton yarn = Color
B, Color C, Color D
K = knit
P = purl
Sl = slip one stitch, purl-wise
~ designed by
Linda Schmidt
With Color A, cast on 43 stitches
[Continue to knit in Color A until change of colors is
noted]
