I love washcloths as a way to play with different techniques in knitting, and this one from Knit Picks looks like a lot of fun.
The Mitered Quarters dishcloth by Allison Griffin uses short rows and four different colors to make a project that looks like it’s done with mitered knitting but it’s not.
This is a super way to use up little odds and ends from other dishcloth projects, and is definitely a fun enough design to gift along with a fancy bar of soap for a teacher gift, housewarming or any other little occasion.

Why use dishcloths? Dishcloths are re-useable and save on kitchen waste. Most dishcloths are made using cotton yarn and can be thrown into the washing machine when dirty. This makes them very hygienic, especially when compared to kitchen sponges, which sit on the sinks for days if not weeks. Another great thing about dishcloths is when it comes to knitting the knit up quickly and are great for gift giving. Everyone needs a dishcloth. For gifting, It’s not something that has to be in fashion or a certain colour for the recipient to like it, though there are so many great dishcloth pattern designs out there.
