Floating Berries Dishcloth by Sara H. Baldwin

Floating Berries Dishcloth

This pattern is available for free.

Info on Ebook available from Knit Picks

This is based on “Raspberries and Cream” from Barbara Walker’s A Third Treasury of Knitting Patterns. The fabric tends to pull together, making a nice thick sturdy cloth. I have modified the original pattern to make a neater side edge. To prevent the top and bottom edges from flaring out I have used smaller-sized knitting needles and fewer stitches, but the berry stitch pattern can be worked on any multiple of 4 plus 1 stitches.

I used Knitpicks “Dishie” cotton yarn, but if you use a thicker yarn such as Peaches & Creme, go up in needle size to #6 and #8.
