September: Apple Washcloth

Apple picking was one of the first things I did after moving to Massachusetts and something I love doing each fall! There is something wonderful about biting into a crisp apply your hand picked from the tree. Now this fall staple can be yours year round in this 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, watch an apple come to life in the center of the 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.
