This textured stitch creates small chevron arches. The stitch dictionary I was using called this stitch Granada, so I named the dishcloth after the Alhambra, one of the most stunning sites in Granada, Spain.

James P. ★★★★★

The chevron arches really do evoke something architectural—I keep admiring the texture while drying cups. It’s a lovely knit that feels sturdy and has held up well through several washes so far.

Steven ★★★★★

The knit pattern’s little chevron arches look even better in person—the texture feels substantial but not rough on my hands. It’s dried quickly on the hook every time I’ve used it, and I’m already planning to pick up a second one.

Amelia ★★★★★

I've made three of these now and the textured stitch pattern really holds its shape through repeated washing. The chevron arches make drying dishes feel almost fancy, and it's got a nice heft without being bulky.
