Stepping up in Difficulty

This week, I took a project that was slightly higher in difficulty than my other projects.  It wasn’t that the stitches were too crazy and it was only a dish cloth, so I didn’t think it could be that hard.  However, this one is a complicated mix of knits and purls.  There’s a lot to keep track of and this seems to be my folly.  Finally, I figured out what I was doing.  The border is purl 1 knit 1 ribbing.  The inside of this pattern looks like it’s inset because it doesn’t stick out like the border.  This is made by rows of knit 1 slip 1 and then purling the back.  It’s very pretty and looks elegant in its simplicity.  You can find the pattern here and it is free: Simple Slip Stitch Dischloth.
