    Thank you for posting this pattern. I just knitted this dish cloth – it was really fun, and I think it’s going to be a nice “scrubby” one. Thank you!

    This dishcloth pattern looks great, and I’ll have it on the needles to-day. Thank you.

    I’m gearing up for Christmas and always looking for some quick but pretty ideas for stocking stuffers. Thanks for the pattern…I’m grabbing my needles!

    Thank you so much for posting your wonderful dishcloths. I learned to knit when I was 8 or 9. ( I am 52 now) I put my knitting down for alot of years. I picked it up again about 5 yrs ago. I got searching the web, for something new. I am now addicted to dishcloths. They make wonderful gifts for any reason.

    Thank you for posting this pattern — I love to just mindlessly follow the steps and be rewarded by a fun pattern just appearing! Made a dish cloth for a friend’s bridal shower.
