THE NEVER ENDING DISHCLOTH SAMPLER
PATTERN NO.1: WELCOME BACK DISHCLOTH
…………………………………………………………………

A simple start. Channeling the stitch motif of the Welcome Back Cowl, this dishcloth pattern is both very basic, and very effective due to its highly textured surface. For those who are just getting back into knitting, its simple combination of knits and purls will give you just the right amount of meditative practice, and a useful cleaning tool into the bargain. Welcome Back!

This pattern can be purchased as part of the Never Ending Dishcloth Sampler. It is not available for sale individually.

The Never Ending Dishcloth Sampler is an ongoing collection of dischcloth patterns featuring motifs from my existing garment and accessory designs. If you are curious to try a stitch motif before committing to a sizeable project, this is the perfect way to do it - and have something functional to show for it in the end!
