THE NEVER ENDING DISHCLOTH SAMPLER
PATTERN NO.3: FIREFLIES DISHCLOTH
…………………………………………………………………

Derived from the stitch motif of the Bashful Fireflies socks, this prettily textured dishcloth exudes a subtle, glowing elegance.

Ideal for washing up after a candle-lit dinner on a summer’s night… especially as the ‘fireflies’ provide excellent scrubbing action!

The Never Ending Dishcloth Sampler is an ongoing collection of dischcloth patterns featuring motifs from my existing garment and accessory designs.
