It’s spring! The weather is warming up and trees and flowers are starting to bloom, so we all know what this means….its time to spring clean! I’m typically not ever excited to clean but I thought making some cute bold colored dishcloths would help motivate me to do the job. Will it work… maybe. Only time will tell. I will say though that I do like how they look resting over the kitchen sink. They brighten up the whole space!
This is a great pattern for the knitter seeking instant gratification as they can be made in just a little over an hour! I really love the basket weave design and think the contrast in stitch will help make for a great scrubbie surface. I do hope you enjoy them as well. 🙂
