One late night at home while I finished the sample for a new design, we held an adhoc conference and the furball CEOs insisted on naming the dishcloth in something they like ...... like catnip, mouse, fist, etc. They said the special edge resembled a long fish, so we finally decided the name to be "Modern Unagi"
Modern Unagi is my latest dishcloth design with a special two colour "flat twisted" edge. The main bodies is constructed with a sharp corner wave pattern that accentuatse the corners of the twisted edge. Also since the wave pattern is made with knit and purl stitches (no slipped stitches like the herringbone), so the rectangular shape is maintained pretty well without blocking.
The three sections of the dishcloth is held together seamlessly by intarsia. Although there is a right side and wrong side to this dishcloth, the intarsia in the wrong side is well arranged and presentable (meaning there is no need to hide :p)
The pattern is now available in my Ravelry store. It is in both written instruction and knitting chart. Mini photo tutorial is also included to help in explaining the intarsia technique.
Happy knitting!
