Introductory offer: 25% off my mosaic knitted critters (Flamingo, Yeti and Big Foot, Tap Dancing Penguin, Blue-footed Booby and LOVE) patterns. No code needed.

Who doesn’t love a tap dancing penguin? Just listen to his happy feet a-tapping!

This washcloth is knitted back and forth in rows using the mosaic technique, with knit and slip sts and only one colour in each row. It incorporates a third colour using intarsia, but this is optional, you can knit the washcloth in just two colours if you wish.

A crochet chain loop allows the washcloth to be hung up to dry.

The penguin design is charted (instructions are included in the pattern for how to read the chart). This design uses Stitchmastery charts.

If you are using a different yarn to the one suggested, you will need approx 45m in MC, 45m in CC1 and 25m in CC2 of DK yarn.

Tools required
4mm (US 6) needles
3mm (US D/3) crochet hook
Tapestry needle

Alternative uses for this project: baby comforter, face cloth, cushion, wallhanging, placemat
