Square Dish Cloth

I took up knitting years ago when I was 14. I was looking for a new hobby and fell in love with knitting. Making dish cloths are an easy and rewarding project. They are the number one thing I knit. This knit dish cloth soaks up a lot of moisture, is very durable, and has a cute diagonal pattern. It's easy to make on-the-go or even when you're watching tv.
