dragonfly washcloth - free!

dragonfly washcloth

i blogged about this little washcloth i made an age ago, but since i am on ravelry and have emailed it out to bunches of people, i decided to officially offer it up as a free pattern. it's one of my favorite and most well-used knitted items, and it makes a great little gift with a bar of soap. so here ya go--have at it.

you can download it directly here.
or if you prefer, here's the ravelry pattern link.

ps--i have no delusions about becoming a designer or anything, but i might someday get around to drawing a few more washcloths. i'll keep you posted. :)

My neighbor Diana is nuts about dragonflies so I immediately whipped out three of these for her with some stashed cotton I had...her words were "These are smokin'! She really, really liked them so thank you for sharing! :)

jackie said...

Hi Jackie,
I've made your beautiful pattern several times while cuddling my sleeping new daughter and gave them away as gifts. I've since been asked if I would make them for a Christmas market. Would you mind? Thanks heaps, Laura

jackie said...

i don't mind a bit, but i really appreciate you asking beforehand! :)
knit away...

jackie said...

hi pat,

i am sorry i somehow missed this comment, but i thought i'd post this in case you are still looking for the butterfly. it's from this booklet from leisure arts:
http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Washcloths-Knit-Leisure-Arts/dp/1601403232/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

the whole booklet is good, by the way--worth the price!

Thanks for posting the pattern for the dragonfly. I used the motif for a table runner, putting one at each end. Turned out well. Gave it as a gift to my sister after a trip where we had seen numerous dragonflies flitting along the beach and the trails at Myrtle Beach and Huntington Beach State Park.

I have a special affinity for dragonflies so not only did you make my day, you made my week. But, most of all I enjoyed your profile info. We could be sisters from another mother, except I am probably old enough to be your mom. Don't Ever change, your enchanting. Happy holidays. Chris
