Easy Peasy is exactly what it sounds like: a simple dishcloth worked in nothing but knit and purl stitches.

It is a perfect first project, a relaxing quick knit, and a nice way to use up cotton yarn.

A knit-and-purl cloth like this is often where a brand new knitter starts, and there is real satisfaction in finishing something useful on your very first try.
