Tiger Mosaic Dishcloth
Buy any two dishcloth patterns and get the third free! Add three to your cart and use the code DISHCLOTH.
I have a lot of cat patterns, but this is the first big cat!
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!
My white tiger sample used “scrubby” yarn to give a fuzzy texture, but that is also optional!
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
