Buy any two dishcloth patterns and get the third free! Add three to your cart and use the code DISHCLOTH.

This mosaic pattern includes four variations, to make either a horse or a unicorn, with either a dark mane or a light/outline mane. Lots of options, but all are cute! I particularly like how my sample turned out with rainbow/multi yarn as the unicorn colour. <3

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!

This pattern includes optional instructions to experiment with intarsia techniques as well to change colours mid-row - though you will have a few yarn ends to manage, the end result is worth it!

Yarn:
Worsted weight cotton yarn (4) in two or more contrasting colours, approximately 73m/80 yards total. 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
