BEGINNER level (only KNITS and PURLS) dishcloth pattern collection, including 4 of my patterns: BROKEN CHEVRON, SCATTERED DIAMONDS, STAIRS and MIST ON A WINDOW PANE.

Of course, in addition to using them as dishcloths / washcloths, they’re perfect as blocks to make blankets. Or many small blankets! You can also adapt them to make shawls, scarves… The possibilities are endless :) PLEASE contact me at any time if you need help to adapt a pattern. I’ll be happy to help
