Easy Knitting Pattern: Checkerboard Dishcloth
This easy knitting pattern is for the Checkerboard dishcloth. The pattern knits up quickly and is perfect for beginners.
Dishcloths are by far my favorite thing to knit. I love that they knit up quickly and add character to my kitchen. This easy knitting pattern is textured and only uses knit and purl stitches.
Knitting is a calming activity for me. I’m able to focus my thoughts and relax while knitting. It brings feelings of comfort. My mom taught me to knit shortly after I had my first child. Since then, I’ve learned to crochet as well.
