This is your chance to use up all those tiny half balls of cotton you have lying around.

The Scrap Dishcloth is a happy little stash-buster that turns leftover odds and ends into a bright, useful cloth for the kitchen, and no two ever come out quite the same.

Grab whatever cotton you have on hand, and let the colors fall however they fall.

A fast, forgiving knit that is endlessly repeatable.

Skill level: Easy

Techniques: worked flat, knit, and purl stripes

As an early childhood educator, I love that a scrap project invites a little playful experimenting. There is no wrong way to choose the colors, which makes this a wonderfully low-pressure knit for a newer maker learning to trust their own eye.
