A small but challenging project to brighten up everyday chores or to be used as a lovely gift for knitworthy friends.

Add two of my dishcloth patterns to your cart and pay for only one!

Leaf It to Me is a romantic dishcloth in colours invoking old fashioned tea roses and featuring a fancy pattern that one imagines Anne of Green Gables would’ve adored while Marilla would’ve openly deemed frivolous nonsense while secretly admired.
Because sometimes it feels nice to find even the simplest, most mundane objects having a little splendour.

The main body of the dishcloth is knitted in the round on DPNs, then an applied border is knitted around it, knitted flat, joined as knitted.

The pattern comes with charts as well as row by row written instructions.

Yarn - Drops Paris (can be substituted with any similar weight cotton yarn), colour 58 (body), 41 g/86 m and colour 59 (border), 30 g/45 m

Needles - 4 mm DPNs (or size to get gauge)

Gauge - 19 sts and 26 rs/rnds in 10 cm in stockinette

Size - about 2828 cm

Required skills/techniques:
-basic knitting (in the round and flat)
-pinhole cast on
-casting on onto left needle
-applied borders
-seaming edges

According to testers:
“It’s a beautiful pattern. As I was working the rounds after the pattern appeared, I thought something similar with the leaf pattern would make a pretty crown of a beret.”

“It was fun, but the border drove me crazy. Looked nice when I was done.”

“Liked the design, pattern clearly written. Love the detailed notes beforehand, referred to them whenever a question came up.”

“It was quite tricky, especially the first 4-5 row. All in all, great pattern, but not for beginners.”

“Wonderful quick test knit.”
