A diamond shaped dishcloth, knitted from the bottom up, featuring a decorative stitch pattern, shaped by regular increases, then decreases, with a thin seed stitch border.

Put two of my dishcloth patterns into your cart and pay for only one! No code needed.

The pattern comes with charts as well as row by row written instructions, and directions on how to resize it into a larger item, e.g. baby blanket. An online version of the chart and its row by row instructions, with a progress tracker by Stitch Fiddle, is also included.

Bygones is a handsome little dishcloth with an elegant stitch pattern. It knits up quickly, and with its unusual look it can be a great - even last minute - gift item.
It can also be resized for a larger item (e.g. placemat, baby blanket)
