Pattern Leaf Dishcloth

Shadow knitting is colourful and fun. From above you see stripes but viewed from an angle a leaf appears. I have made a dischcloth, but why not use this square as part of a blanket project? Make lots of them and sew them together to make a throw perhaps?

This technique is well suited to a beginner knitter.

Instructions are both charted and written.
