Diamond Cloth is a simple, satisfying textured dishcloth, a quick knit for using up cotton yarn, and a lovely handmade housewarming gift.

The diamond texture makes it a nice next step for a newer knitter ready to move beyond garter stitch.

Simple, textured cloths like this one are exactly where new knitters build confidence.
