Lilac Washcloth is the 5th in the Washcloth 2018 series honoring Terry Pratchett, author of the DiscWorld books. In Men at Arms Ankh-Morpork Guards barricade one quarter of the city to reduce bloodshed during a rebellion. They wear sprigs of lilac to recognize other peace-minded Guards during the chaos. Every year afterwards on May 25th they meet at the cemetery, tell stories and wear the lilac.

This washcloth has gentle 3D curves that mimic the curves of a lilac floret.

The size may be made larger or smaller by changing the number of rows, or the hook and the yarn sizes.
