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 dishcloths 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 instructions on how to change size for a larger item with the same stitch pattern.

Bygones is a handsome little dishcloth with a simple 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).
