NEEDLES & KNITS
WOOL SHOP
Tove was reading one of her Norwegian magazines and discovered this free pattern from a pattern booklet entitled TEMA 44 Kluter by Sandnes Garn. We thought we would share it with you as this pattern would make a nice hostess gift for all those Christmas parties and get togethers that happen in December. This pattern was knit on 3 ¾ mm needles using 2 strands of Mandarin Petit. Use smaller needles for tighter weave if desired. The beauty of it is that it knits up in a few hours and you can watch tv while knitting it! There are just 4 simple rows. Add a nice bar of soap or liquid hand soap, tie with a pretty ribbon or put it in a nice gift bag, and you have a really nice hostess gift. Dishcloth PatternSize is approximately 25 X 25 cm or 10” X10”
