Heartstrings~My Project for the Week

A few years ago, I was nearly addicted to knitting dishcloths. I found it a great way to learn more about knitting because I could learn a new skill with each one, yet it was a quick project. Usually people enjoy a knitted dishcloth so they can be a nice little gift.

During that time, I decided to try my hand at creating a pattern. I called my pattern "Heartstrings." I hope to knit one up again this week. I'll report back if I find any errors. :)

You are welcome to knit it up for personal use, and even to sell the cloths you make. Just please don't sell the pattern or take credit for the pattern. :)

Here it is:
With size 7 needles, mine came out to be about 8.5 inches wide and about 10 inches long.

k=knit
p=purl
yo=yarn over
skpo=slip 1, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch drop it for a decrease.
