Hello and welcome back to my blog and if you’re new here I am so happy to have you!  Today I am sharing a fun new knitting pattern – The Checkered Waves Knitted Dishcloth!

I’ve received some requests for a knitting pattern tutorial so I thought it would be fun to make this knitted dishcloth!

I love this pattern because the stitch combination creates a reversible fabric!  The front of the piece shows of a quirky checkered wave pattern while the back features a perfect basket weave!

I really hope you enjoy this project as much as I did.  To make your own check out the written pattern and video tutorial below!
