Don`t the two Love Birds look absolutely happy and oblivious to the troubles of the world? I think the loving atmosphere around these two is contagious.

This cloth is knitted in the Double Knitting Technique. Thus, it looks beautiful on both sides.

Right from birth the cloth can be used as cuddle towel or comforter. For older children or adults it is a super soft face cloth. If you use pure cotton yarn you can make potholders.

Size: With a gauge 27 sts x 40 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4“ x 4“), size of the finished cloth is approx. 23 cm x 23 cm (9,2” x 9,2”)
