I just finished this dishcloth and although it is a little small I am very proud of it. I just taught myself to knit about 3 weeks ago and this was my first attempt at cable stitching. thanks for the free pattern!

Why does it curve in on the sides? Is that supposed to happen, or is it a result of the cabling? Is there a way to knit this pattern without this happening?
