A round dishcloth, knitted in the round, from the outside in. The pattern starts with a lace border, followed by a simple body, shaped by regular decreases.

An advanced pattern, not suitable for beginners.

Put two of my dishcloths into your cart and pay for only one!

The pattern comes with charts as well as round by round written instructions, plus detailed directions on how to resize it into a lager item, e.g a rug, placemat etc.

A lovely, intricate pattern, probably way too fiddly for an everyday dishcloth, but all the more suitable as a housewarming gift for a dear friend, or a little extra for a baby shower.
The pattern is also easy to resize into a placemat, a (baby) blanket, a rug, a tablecloth, a doily etc.
