Free Pattern: Nubbins Nouveau Dishcloth    Yarn:  Peaches n' Creme or Sugar and Cream 100% cotton    Needles:  US #7 (4.5mm)

This is a variation of the original Nubbins dishcloth.  It is composed of 4 sections and although it may look like it, it is not Intarsia.  I repeat, it is not Intarsia.  First the foundation rows are worked.  Then ¾ of the stitches are put on a holder and one of the color block strips is begun.  As one strip is finished, the live stitches at the top are placed on a second holder and the next strip is begun in a similar manner and attached to the previous strip as it is worked.  After all 4 strips are worked, anchor rows are worked across all of the held live stitches and then bound off.  Oh, and in the mean time, Nubbins are created on the edges.  Maybe it sounds difficult, but it is so easy you want to knock your noggin.

 

 

 

I'm still trying to kick a nasty cough so this was a project that was easy enough to do in between my lung hacking.  Guess that was too graphic - sorry.  I want you to feel my pain, share it with me, join in on the fun...umm, yeah.  The doc says he thinks its just drainage from allergies.  So now I'm in the process of trying to dry myself to a crisp.  I'm so desperate to make this noise and embarrassment go away.
