Dishcloths are fun and fast to knit. An excellent way to try a new technique or stitch. You can even make one as a gauge swatch! Love texture but not keen on the purl stitch. This little pattern is a delight to work up. Lots of texture with minimal effort.

Just found this pattern and I’m in love! I’m not fond of the purl stitch either. The texture on this is amazing. Thank you
