Here it is three and a half weeks till Christmas, and I have completed the December dishcloth in my series.
I was unable to find a pattern that I liked so I designed my own. I hope you find it useful. I used my favorite number 6 needles and half a skein of Peaches and Creme cotton yarn in Forest Green.

Cast off and weave in ends.
The border is in brackets if you wish to change the border.
Row 6 should be “all even rows through 48”
Very nice pattern!
Thank you for catching that. I will make the change to the pattern.
Thank you for this. Nice and simple pattern!
Glad you liked it.
hI i really like this, I was wondering which rows are the wrong side and which rows are the right side, Thank You
The even numbered rows create the smooth front side of the dishcloth. The odd numbered rows are knitted from the wrong side of the dishcloth.
Hope that helps.
What goes on for rows 10-14? I’m a new knitter
For all even rows (including rows 10, 12, and 14) : [K1, P1, K1, P1,] K29, [P1, K1, P1, K1]
Rows 9, 11 and 13 are the same: [K1, P1, K1, P1,] P12, K5, P12 [P1, K1, P1, K1]
