Double Knitting Pattern Dishcloth / Washcloth "Live Love Laugh"

Live – Love – Laugh“ – this makes life just a tiny bit easier. This positive attitude to life works for me, and I want to transfer it to my two children, too. So I designed this little cloth for my older daughter. She loves it! And uses it as a soft face washcloth.

Of course the motif is also perfect for a dishcloth or for potholders. With thicker yarn you can even make a pillowcase. No matter what you create, hopefully the saying together with the butterflies will bring joy into your home!

This cloth is knitted in the Double Knitting Technique. There are two different versions included:

1. classic double knitting – the font will appear mirrored on one side
2. advanced double knitting – the font will appear corrrectly on both sides

You will find a detailed explanation in the pattern as well as in the knitting chart.
