Stitch this conifer cleaning cloth for the kitchen, bath or as a trivet too. With a little creative embroidery, it can be trimmed with a few decorations for fun! The pattern also includes a variation for one pair of rows. Worked in mosaic garter stitch, just one strand works every two rows while the other strand rests at the edge. Gauge and dimensions are provided in a light worsted weight yarn. Choose colors that contrast well. Try your camera’s “black & white” setting to look at your yarns in grayscale and check the contrast between your selection(s). The pattern provides full written instructions with (optional) positive and negative charts for making useful household linens and gifts!
