Flower Garden Dishcloth Knit Pattern

Pattern Introduction 

There is something so pleasant about a well organized garden. Bursts of colors peeping out here and there to please the eyes and grant joy. This pattern uses knit and purl stitches to catch the eye in a similar fashion and also bring joy. 

The flower bed border is made up of a 5-stitch garter stitch fabric. Once inside the beds a sea of stockinette stitch set the stage for our blossoms to shine. Little bursts of purl and knit stitches in a pattern that is surprising and orderly. 

The flower pattern is an 8 stitch 8 row repeat that is simple enough for beginners to navigate, and for experienced knitters to quickly memorize.

You may make and sell items from this pattern, but if you do, please credit me as the designer. 

Happy knitting!
