June 2019 CHALLENGE-KAL 

Happy Summer from Rosie!

hi fellow knitters,

 I'm a bit early - but thought you might need a gift for Father's Day!

  or just to pass the time at your vacation home this month -

  This is a sweet little dishcloth - it's only knits!  no purls!  

 The challenge this month is to trust the pattern!  

This is a shaped cloth [heart], and it might sound strange to not be doing wrapped turns or mid-row cast on's, etc.  But none of that!

  The terms you need to know are Kfb, K 2 tog, YO, SSK

 This looks really nice in variegated yarns!

This is called Sister Hearts, and you can find the pattern at her site:

https://www.simplynotable.com/2016/sister-hearts

NOTE: on ROW 23, she has a "K 0" in the middle of row -

 I believe she did that because you K 2 together on either side of that - in other words, [K 2tog]twice
