Moss Panels is a simple yet elegant textured dishcloth, worked in panels of moss stitch for a satisfying, tactile finish.

It is a quick knit, a lovely handmade housewarming gift, and a nice way to use up cotton yarn.

A textured cloth like this is a comfortable next step once you are steady with your knits and purls.

Designed by Julie Anderson of The Byrd’s Nest, an early childhood educator with a Master’s in special education who spent years teaching beginner knitting.
