THE NEVER ENDING DISHCLOTH SAMPLER
PATTERN NO.4: MEADOW DANCE DISHCLOTH
…………………………………………………………………

Adapted from the mosaic colourwork of the Meadow Dance Shawl, this dishcloth offers the opportunity to try your hand at mosaic knitting, without the commitment of multiple chart repeats.
 And in the end you have a piece of functional art, rather than just a swatch!

While the garter stitch
 texture makes for a wonderfully effective dishcloth, consider also using it as a decorative place setting, to compliment vintage silverware and crockery.

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!
