This design is inspired by the delicious cinnamon sourdough waffles we sometimes make as a treat for breakfast. Their raised edge and dimpled centre holds the sweet and spicy flavour so well. Yum!

To replicate the classic style of this tasty treat, the cloth has a a rounded, cord-like edge created using a fun i-cord cast-on, edging and cast off technique plus a gently textured centre that will pick up your spillages like a waffle holds its toppings!

It’s a relaxing and fun knit with an easily remembered stitch pattern and a design that is motivating to complete.

Give a nod to its inspiration with a tan, gold or toasted brown shade or simply pick your kitchen/ bathroom colours or the favourite shade of its new owner. It’ll look great in any colour!
Enjoy making your cloth!
