In the spirit of Halloween, here is a Pumpkin dishcloth that I made. This was done on a 12" double knitting board. With green, cast on the middle 6 pegs (6 on each side, 12 pegs total) and knit (single knit/1 over 1) 6 rows. Snip the green yarn, and with orange cast on 20 pegs (20 each side, 40 total) being sure to center the green. Knit off the 6 pegs with green and orange on them, and wrap the 20 pegs again. Knit 8 rows with orange. Then with black yarn, wrap pegs 5,6,7 & 8 (both sides) ...as well as 13,14,15 & 16 (both sides). Then wrap remaining pegs in orange, knit off. Do this a total of 4 rows. Snip black yarn, and knit another 5 rows with just orange. With black wrap pegs 9,10,11 & 12 (both sides), wrap remaing pegs with orange. Knit a total of 3 rows, snip black yarn. Knit 5 more rows with just orange, and bind off..weave in yarn ends...and WAAAA LA. A PUMPKIN DISHCLOTH! This cloth came out a nice smaller size, and makes a great cloth for a Halloween centerpiece on the dining room table. You could easily make it bigger by adding a few rows here and there, or adapt it to a dishcloth rake for a thinner one sided cloth.

I just love this one! You are so good at this. Ok, now I am going to copy your pattern and start working on one myself. My kids would love that (maybe it'll get them to clean their faces a little more too! lol..)
Thanks for sharing!
