Related pattern
I see a gear, but I also see a fire, and two people warming their hands around it.
This is meant to make a standard 9" dishcloth when made in worsted-weight cotton (like Sugar'n Cream) at a gauge of 5 st/in. (Use whatever size needle will work. The ball band recommends a US7/4.5mm, but I do better with a smaller needle. Swatch and see.)

Some warnings:
- The graph is for the central pattern only. Cast on 45 stitches, knit 5 rows, then start the graph.
- The graph does not include the garter border. Please be sure to knit the first and last 5 stitches of each row. (Stitch markers to indicate the border may help.)
- The pattern is worked on the right side only. Wrong side rows are purled.
