A square dishcloth, knitted flat, from the bottom up, featuring a lace stitch pattern and a seed stitch border.

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

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

Life is Like a Song is a charming little dishcloth if I do say so myself! The contrast of the simple elegance of stockinette stitch and the polished look of openwork creates a very pleasing piece. It’s perfect for a gift item that you can be sure will be appreciated. It can serve as a dishcloth, a washcloth, a hot pad, blanket square, or it can be resized to be something larger, e.g. a lovely baby blanket or a scarf.
