The "Knitted I Never Promised You A Rose Garden Dishcloth" is a delightful and practical addition to any kitchen. With its charming design featuring roses and lush greenery, this dishcloth adds a touch of whimsy to your daily chores. The knitted texture not only makes it sturdy for scrubbing but also helps to absorb moisture efficiently, making clean-up a breeze.

It's a wonderful way to add a hint of nature and beauty to your home while tackling mundane tasks with style.
There is No Gauge requirement for this pattern, it is however a larger cloth. I knitted this sample with a size US3 needle and the finished size is 11x10. It required about 2oz of cotton to complete.
