This washcloth came to be in one of my slightly more manic moments of startitis. I was getting ready to take a shower but didn’t know where to locate my cotton washcloth, so I said to myself “I’ll just whip up a new one real quick!” and I went to get yarn and needles, and started to look up stitches in a dictionary. Well, about 10 minutes of that went by before I decided to just get in the shower already, but I went ahead and kept knitting the cloth after I got out. The stitch pattern is called rose stitch, and I found it here: http://www.knittingonthenet.com/stitches/rosest.htm
