An ideal project for getting started with colourwork knitting and those wishing to get more practice in managing several balls of yarn in a quick and simple project. The colour motif of the pattern is achieved by slipping stitches and the texture is created by simply knitting and purling.

Knitted in a colour scheme that is synonymous with the ’70s (green, brown and orange), doing the dishes will never be dull again. Promise.

The measurements of the finished piece depend on the number of pattern repeats worked, giving you the freedom to create a tea towel or a smaller dishcloth-size finished piece.
