Pumpkin Dishcloth Freebie

I thought it was about time I shared another free pattern. Just my way of saying "Thanks" for hanging around and reading my blog even though lately I really stink at keeping it updated. :P
So....here's a little pattern for you that's appropriate for the season and the upcoming holiday. The pattern is written for one color like the first photo but for those of you skilled in changing colors...the second photo is also an option. For those who aren't...don't feel alone...I am not a color changing skilled knitter either. Thanks to Shirl for the test knitting...otherwise I wouldn't have that second photo. :P Hugs!

That's very cute! By the way, it's okay if you're not keeping everything updated regularly. Especially since I seem to keep falling behind in my blog reading - Obviously. :)

Doing patterns like this is new to me and my knitting abilities. Without doing a swatch which I think I'm allergic too. lol What size would it come out? Have you done it with worsted weight yarn? Trying to get a feel for sizing. Thanks
