Christmas Tree Dishcloth Knitting Pattern

Designed by Barbara Breiter

xmas tree cloth

This pattern knits up as a holiday dish or face cloth if knit with a cotton or delicate yarn. Use a bulky yarn for a hot pad. Enlarge the surrounding purl area for a dish towel. Knit the background in red instead of green utilizing intarsia.

The motif is 16 sts by 32 rows.

Use any worsted weight yarn and needles appropriate to the yarn. It was knit at 4 stitches to the inch but gauge is not vital. Both sides look nice; if you use the side where the tree is knit in stockinette, it appears raised.

A chart is available here.
