A round dishcloth, knitted in the round, from the outside in, started with a picot hem. After the hem the body is shaped by regular decreases, and decorated with a simple, textured colourwork motif.

Put two of my dishcloths into your cart and pay for only one! No code needed.

The pattern comes with charts as well as round by round written instructions, and instructions on how to change size for a larger item with the same stitch pattern.

A personal favourite of mine, this adorable little pattern feels like it just jumped off of the pages of some classic romantic novel.
It is a great project to use up very small amounts of leftovers in the colourwork, and it can serve as a fantastic gift for any baby shower. It can also be resized into something larger, e.g. a placemat or a rug.
