I could really go for a vacation right now! I’m channeling some of my travel-planning-energy into dishcloth form, to remember places I’ve been and plan places I want to go someday!

My home in the mountains & forests of Northern Canada is nearly the opposite of a desert; desert landscapes would be a highlight of a US roadtrip for me, though I would want air conditioning!

The techniques for this pattern are easy! You only need knit and slipped stitches to create the pattern, and only one colour of yarn is used at a time. This is a great introduction to the techniques used for “mosaic knitting”, and creates a cute and practical cloth in no time!

Yarn:
Worsted weight cotton yarn (4) in two or more contrasting colours, approximately 36m/40 yards of each colour (may vary depending on choices, such as solid or speckled ground and sky options, or changing colours for the cactus or sun). Cotton yarn is recommended for dishcloths; but any fibre (or weight) would work for the pattern.

Gauge is not critical for this project, but will affect the finished size and yardage required.

Needles: 4.5mm (US size 7) straight knitting needles

Finished Dimensions: Approximately 9” square.

Pattern instructions: Written and charted instructions
