It’s week six out of eight of Lily’s summer dishcloth extravaganza, and this week’s theme is Flights of Floral Fancy.
The knit pattern this week is a sunflower dishcloth (that opens as a PDF) worked in the round with a bobbled center and a petal edging that’s sewn on after the fact. I don’t know if I’d actually use it, but it sure is cute!
Crochet fans can find the crochet pattern of the week, for a lovely crocheted zinnia (one of my favorite flowers!) in PDF form here.

Why use dishcloths? Dishcloths are re-useable and save on kitchen waste. Most dishcloths are made using cotton yarn and can be thrown into the washing machine when dirty. This makes them very hygienic, especially when compared to kitchen sponges, which sit on the sinks for days if not weeks. Another great thing about dishcloths is when it comes to knitting the knit up quickly and are great for gift giving. Everyone needs a dishcloth. For gifting, It’s not something that has to be in fashion or a certain colour for the recipient to like it, though there are so many great dishcloth pattern designs out there.
