THE NEVER ENDING DISHCLOTH SAMPLER
PATTERN NO.6: GUILLOCHE DISHCLOTH
…………………………………………………………………

Utilising the mini-honeycomb motif of the Guilloche Collection, this reversible dishcloth is beautifully tactile
 and a great way to build up to knitting a cabled garment or accessory.

The simple, meditative cables can 
be worked either with or without a cable needle, and look identical on both sides of the fabric - making 
this a particularly attractive dishcloth for gift-giving. Consider bundling it together with a pot of local honey or a decorative honey jar, for a delightfully thematic care package.

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!
