A Late Finish

It wasn't a race - not really - just another project late to the finish line. Those knitted dishcloths worked from corner to corner with their own integrated border have piqued my interest for years. I wondered if I could design a crocheted version. I started that process several years ago and made a few notes. I had included some pretty and soft sport weight yarn in the project bag.

Days ago, I suddenly had a feeling that I knew the answers to a couple of my construction questions, dug out my baggie from its resting place and completed another square - this one to be a face cloth rather than a dish cloth. And here it is!

I've written out and typed the instructions. If any of you would like to try out the pattern and give me some feedback please leave me a note or email me personally. It looks as though Knit Picks has some nice cotton and blend sport yarn that would be appropriately soft for a face cloth. Or...you could try it as a dish cloth from a good cotton or blended worsted weight yarn. The pattern is versatile!
