About this ebook
Recently I had a cold virus, and I was running a fever. I also happened to be reading A History of Hand Knitting by Richard Rutt. In this book, he describes a dishcloth knit by colonial American Shakers, worked on size 2mm (US size 0) or smaller needles:
“The washcloths were circular, made of 16 segments of garter stitch, arranged in alternating colours. The rows ran radially, decreasing from the centre in alternate shortened rows.”
I read this, and I knew I wanted to take these two sentences and write a modern pattern. The low-grade fever I was running made it difficult to think ahead very far, so I just knit, ripped out, knit, and ripped out - until I got it.
This pattern is friendlier, using much bigger needles, delicious modern yarn, and has 12 color segments instead of 16.
* Pattern includes links to video tutorial.

About the author
My name is Staci. I’m a Master Knitter, and have been knitting for over 35 years. It's my passion.
I am a knitwear designer and knitting teacher. I combine these skills to create patterns with video tutorials that ease knitters into advanced techniques, such as socks, sweaters, cables, and colorwork knitting. Additionally, I teach knitting classes at various locations in the greater Austin, TX area.On Verypink.com you’ll find my blog, links to my knitting patterns, as well as technique and tutorial videos. All of my videos are shot and produced by Parker at TinyCourage.com.
Besides knitting, I enjoy spending time with my three Basenjis - Ike, Abe, and Tippy. I also like to put the needles down for a while to watch a baseball game, or to get out for a nice run.
If you have any questions while knitting through this pattern, you can reach me at [email protected].
