şervetele la bucatarie

waffle knit dishcloth pattern


Lots and lots of dishcloths have been flying out of the Firefly Farm shop ~thank you all for the support!
My favorite is a pattern I came up with using the raised box stitch, which gives the dishcloth a great waffle texture. For anyone interested in making it, I would like to share the pattern. Wouldn't several of these, along with some of Mrs Meyers dish soap, make a nice Christmas gift?
