I love the seaside in early morning. The gentle lapping of waves, the soft, vibrant colors of sunrise, the squish of sand under my toes, and the intriguing shapes of shells washed up on the beach. This towel and wash cloth set was inspired by memories of quiet mornings by the sea. Knit in durable, soft cotton or cotton blend, the set will be equally suitable for the bath or kitchen.

Pattern is worked flat using basic lace and slipped stitches. Suitable for advanced beginner and intermediate knitters.

This pattern is part of the By the Sea Kitchen/Bath Set and is not available individually. The set includes this cloth, the Shell Lace washcloth as well as the Shell Lace towel. It makes a great set for gifts.

The pattern is a great way to use up scraps. From 1 ball of blue, I knit one Shell Lace cloth and had enough yarn left over for both of the Sea Oats cloths so 2 balls should easily make 4 washcloths.

Because of the slipped stitch cables, this pattern will look best if blocked
