Turning another leaf

I found another leaf washcloth pattern and finished it up this morning.  This one is knit from the tip to the stem.  I like how the ribs are raised and give it dimension.

I now have three leafy washcloth patterns I can knit.  I’d like to make my own pattern using elements of all three.

Yarn is Sugar & Cream color Sage.

Needles: Size 7 US though the pattern called for 4 or 5.  I just used what I had right in front of me.

This pattern had a few “Huh?” moments so I don’t think it is truly a beginner pattern.

It says to cast on two stitches after a few rows are knitted but no cast on method was suggested.  I used the cable cast on and it seemed to work out fine.  The directions also said to k2tog then bind off one stitch which sounded strange to me but I did just that and it turned out fine.

I’m really pleased with the end result.

Do you ever get hooked on a shape, color, technique, or designer?  I’m hooked on leaves right now.  And washcloths.
