This weeks Free pattern is Sherbet Stripes Dishcloth from KnitPicks.

Finished Measurements 6” long x 6” wide.

Bright, delicious stripes, vertical on the front and horizontal on the reverse side, make this dishcloth a welcome addition to your kitchen. A simple 4 row repeat of slip stitches creates a fun color work effect that is deceptively simple to work but must be done on double pointed needles to allow you to knit from either end of the work.
