Pam Walker's Spring Time Towel and Dish Rag Set

.
Okay, this cloth is a wee bit more of a challenge, but it is really worth it...as you can see, it's gorgeous! It's such a versatile cloth, you can do it up in just about any colour whether solid, variegated, striped, or twisted.

.
Many of us in Rachel's Knitting Room did this pattern for our May 2008 Group Knit Along. You can view our finished cloths here.

This rose is an ordinary dishcloth that is folded to look like a rose……

Step 1: Knit a dishcloth in the bee stitch
.
Marilyn suggests using Rhonda's Bee Stitch Cloth.
.
.

Step 2: Fold cloth from side to side
.
.

Step 3: Fold cloth from bottom to top; Turn on it’s side

.
.

Step 4: Tie yarn tightly around the middle
.

Step 5: Pull bottom up around the top of the rose; Sew the side seams with a basting stitch.

Waffle Knit Dishcloth Pattern

This is such a nice and easy cloth to do up and you could very easily knit up a towel to match for a cute little set. I especially like this cloth knit with the two contrasting colours like she has done...it really seems to dress up this simple cloth!
