LEARN A NEW STITCH!

FREE PATTERN – KNIT

Today’s pattern is the Simple Lace Rib.  It is worked over a multiple of 6 + 1 sts. I made a simple border of one knit stitch all the way around this dishcloth by starting and ending with a knit row and keeping the first and last stitch in every row a knit stitch.
