A round dishcloth, knitted in the round, from the outside in.
The pattern is started with an openwork border, then continued
with a stockinette stitch body, shaped by regular decreases.

Put two of my dishcloth patterns 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 directions on how to resize it into a larger item, e.g. baby blanket. An online version of the chart and its round by round instructions, with a progress tracker by Stitch Fiddle, is also included.

A handsome little dishie that looks a lot more intricate than it really is, making it perfect for an impressive gift.
It is also a nice leftover-eater, since its border can be made with just a little bit of yarn. This makes it a great candidate for the making of a set, with the same colour for the body, but a different colour border for each piece, creating an entire cute, calorie free sweets selection.
And if one really wants to go all out, the pattern can easily be enlarged as well, so a placemat, an area rug etc. is also very possible.

“- Loved this pattern. The beginning was a little difficult to master, at first, but the rest was easy.”
“- It’s a fun pattern. I was a bit concerned that it would end up loopy, but it didn’t. And I learned more new stitches.”
