Materials Needed

• Yarn: 100% cotton yarn in seafoam green and deep navy
• Needles: US 7 (4.5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Using the seafoam green yarn, cast on 40 stitches onto your US 7 (4.5mm) knitting needles.
2. Create Garter Stitch Border:
   • Rows 1-4: Knit all stitches across each row. This will create a garter stitch border on the edges of your dishcloth.
3. Begin Ribbing Pattern:
   • Row 5: *K2, P2* repeat from * to end of the row.
   • Row 6: *P2, K2* repeat from * to end of the row.
   • Repeat Rows 5-6 for a total of 20 rows. This will create a lovely ribbed texture.
4. Switch Yarn Color: After completing the ribbing, switch to the deep navy yarn.
5. Continue with Garter Stitch:
   • Rows 21-24: Knit all stitches across each row.
6. Ribbing Pattern for Navy Side:
   • Row 25: *P2, K2* repeat from * to end of the row.
   • Row 26: *K2, P2* repeat from * to end of the row.
   • Repeat Rows 25-26 for a total of 20 rows. This will give the navy side a contrasting ribbed pattern.
7. Bind Off: Once you have completed the final ribbing, bind off all stitches. Make sure to do this loosely to maintain the elasticity of the dishcloth.
8. Weave in Ends: Using a tapestry needle, weave in any loose ends from your yarn. This will give your dishcloth a neat and finished look.
