Oct: Jack-o'-Lantern Washcloth

Fall is one of my favorite seasons - and pumpkins are one of my favorite parts of fall. Whether eating or carving them, I can't get enough! This jack-o'-lantern will not rot on you, and can be used to help you wash up the dishes after your favorite pumpkin treats are made and enjoyed - win-win! This pattern is a fun, fast project that is sure to bring a smile to your face as you make it, and use it. And you can spread smiles by giving a knit dishcloth to someone else! Using just knits and purls, bring to life a pumpkin in the center of this washcloth.

NOTE: I like the way a seed stitch border lays and the texture it provides for scrubbing. You could easily replace it with a garter stitch border instead if you prefer. To do so, knit rows 1-3, knit the first three and last three stitches on rows 4-34 and knit rows 35-37

This pattern would also be suitable for a potholder/trivet or displayed as a decorative table or shelf mat.
