This pattern can be purchased individually or as part of DK Squared Dishcloth collection.

DK Flowers Dishcloth is a double-sided pattern that can be used to make a variety of knitted projects - a coaster, dishcloth, placemat, fragment of a cushion cover, scarf, bag or blanket.

It is one of five designs in my DK Squared Dishcloth Collection. The collection is based on an interesting colourwork technique of creating a two sided image by alternating DK (double knit) and garter squares on a marled garter background.

The dishcloth is worked with two strands of yarn in two colours. The yarns are separated for the DK squares, which have two layers.

There are many ways to play with DK and garter squares for different colourwork effects. This pattern offers three ways to work the DK flower motifs.

This pattern has been tech edited and tested.
