What I like best in autumn is the variety of colours in the forest, when the leaves glow in the most splendid shades. With these autumn leaves on a wash- or dishcloth you can bring this happy play of colours into your home and enjoy it, even on a cloudy day.

The cloths are very easy to work with only knits and purls.

The pattern explains very detailed and stitch by stitch how you can knit these cloths, so even beginners with basic knitting skills will succeed. And if there should be any questions, I`ll be happy to help!

More knitting patterns suitable for beginners you will find in this collection:

Required skills:

• basic knitting skills (cast on, cast off, knit and purl)
• optional (for the handle): basic crochet skills (chain, sling stitch, single stitch)

You will get very detailed directions with written instructions for each row. In addition you will get a knitting chart for both motifs in separate files. You can choose if you go with the written instructions or prefer working with the knitting charts.
