In January I began knitting a set of twelve dishcloths for Christmas presents this year. Not surprising to anyone but myself, I was up to the wire knitting. I did complete 2 sets of dishcloths and most of the third. My poor sister received an IOU for the remaining dishcloths.
Last week I shared a heart dishcloth by Emily Jagos (here). However, I was not pleased with the overall look, so I decided to alter the pattern so that the heart was less boxy.
As I shared in January, my goal for Christmas 2014 is to make several sets of dishcloths to give as gifts. Each set will have 12 dishcloths, one for each month. Instead of waiting till the end of the year to work on the project, I plan to knit a few each month so that by December, they will be complete. Well, enough rambling, here is the February installment of the set.
This pattern was designed by Emily Jagos and can be found here for free.
As always I used my size 6 needles so my finished project was a little smaller (8 inches x 8 inches). I choose “Bright Pink” by Peaches and Creme. I like the edging on this dishcloth. So often, dishcloths with images to not have much texture and this one solves that problem by adding a little extra texture around the edge.
Happy knitting!
