The roll of waves against the shoreline is a delicious sight and sound, whether you are at a lake, sea, or ocean. Therefore Cross-Sea Waves Dishcloth captures the look and feel of those waves rolling in evenly one after the other. 

Cross-Sea Waves Dishcloth is knit flat using knits and purls to create diagonal waves. A garter stitch border helps keep this cloth in shape without heavy blocking. 

You may sell items knit from this pattern. Please credit me as the designer.
