This pattern is also available in the Jolly Roger Rags e-book.

Playful, spooky and begging for bone china, here’s a bar mop to scare the kitchen goblins. See also the companion cloth Clean to the Bone. Simple repeats allow you to customize the size. Gauge and dimensions are provided with a medium weight cotton. Worked in mosaic garter stitch, just one strand of color works every two rows while the other strand rests at the edge. Choose colors that contrast well. Try your camera’s “black & white” setting to look at your yarns in grayscale and check the contrast between your selection(s). The pattern provides full written instructions with (optional) positive and negative charts for making useful linens and gifts!
