Butterfly Love

Hi Knitters,

On my trip I came up with a couple of new washcloth designs. The first is a true springtime design. I am writing up the pattern today and will have it available maybe even later today, if not, then tomorrow.
Here is some information you may like to know:

Samples are knit in: #1109 Bubblegum, #2230 Mango, #406 Caribbean Blue, #5638 Powder Blue.

Note: Any worsted weight cotton will work fine, Sugar & Cream or Peaches & Creme for example are perfect.

I wanted to show you the size in comparison to my hand as a reference.

I'll be hosting another Cotton Chenille yarn giveaway along with the Butterfly Washcloth pattern. I'll let you know more about it when the pattern is available!

Hope you like this new pattern as much as I do! What a fun baby/child spring gift this will make.
