There are a few sights and smells that I always associate with summer, and one is freshly mown grass. If done properly, your lawn will have gorgeous even stripes from the way the lawn was mown. Hedged in by little bushes (garter edges), this dishcloth brings summer wherever it goes.

Freshly Mown Grass Dishcloth is knit flat using knit and purl stitches. A garter stitch border surrounds a beautiful lawn of stockinette stitch fabric.

You may make and sell items from this pattern and credit me as the designer.
