About The Design
Whenever I need design inspiration, I tend to look to other textiles. Simple (and some not very simple) geometric patchwork quilt blocks translate easily into knitting, especially in garter stitch.

These cloths are pleasant to knit, in KnitPicks Dishie cotton yarn. The bathroom cupboards are filling with decorative and useful cloths, which will add my own personal style to the ongoing process I have been engaged in, of unifying the house’s decor into a beach and farmhouse style – hence the color palette I have chosen for these samples of white, ecru, linen, coral, and 3 shades of blue.

The graphic nature of these motifs work equally well in shades of grey and white, for those with a contemporary decor!

The patterns can also be knit with other types of yarns and sewn together for a cushion cover or an afghan!

The patterns included are:
Stripes & Solids
Fence Rails
Dominos
Flying Geese
Bowties

Finished Dimensions
Average width and length of each cloth: 10.5”
(The Stripes & Solids cloths are 9.5” square.)

Gauge
22 sts & 28 rows = 4” in Stockinette, and 22 sts and 20 ridges (40 rows) = 4” in garter stitch, using size 5 (3.75 mm) ndls or size to give gauge.
To save time, take time to check gauge.

Also available in my Etsy shop, Payhip shop, and on Lovecrafts.
Happy Knitting!
