One of my coworkers at Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital got me hooked on hand-knit dishcloths. I used the ones she knit until they literally fell apart. My mom has recently begun knitting cute little dishcloths with all sorts of patterns, and when she sent me a handful of them, I was instantly charmed. And inspired. They have the whole vintage thing going on but with absolute modern style and usefulness.
Over Christmas vacation, I borrowed some of my mom’s patterns to knit some dishcloths for myself, but being the eternal (and Southern) customizer that I am, I was aching for a dishrag with my own fancy monogram on it. After a thorough online search, I found nothing but plain ole patterns for block letters. Bleh! So I searched through my font library and decided to “roll my own” pattern. And here it is, for any of my knitting friends who happen to share the need for an M dishcloth. 
This is my first ever knit pattern to write, but I’ve checked it thoroughly and knitted it through following the directions, so I’m very confident that it is correct. Still…I make no guarantees. Let me know if you knit it!
