These two Love Birds are chirping happily and seem to be oblivious to the troubles of this world. Just looking at them makes me happy, too! This little cloth can be used as wash- or dishcloth and is a very nice present for a beloved person. You can make it for yourself, too, of course

The cloth is very easy to work with only knits and purls.

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