Are you ready to EXTERMINATE dirt?

The way this dishcloth is made (mosaic knitting) gives it a nice “nubby” and stretchy texture, making it ideal for a soft face cloth, a dishcloth, or even a trivet or pot holder. I love making these for gifts! Finished dimensions 8.5”x 8”

Materials needed:

• Two colors worsted weight cotton yarn (best results with contrasting colors). You will need approximately 60-80 yards in each color. Lily Sugar’n Cream, I Love This Cotton, Knitpicks Dishie and similar yarns are good for this project
• Needles to match the gauge (21 stitches & 42 rows 4”)
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors
• Crochet hook, size G/6-4.25 mm (optional; used for making a border).

Skills Required: Knit Stitch, Slip Stitch, and a very basic knowledge of color-work is needed.
