Head off to the beach to collect some shells in this pail! This knit dishcloth pattern is a picture of a great beach pail. The pail is square bottomed and has a rounded handle. It is a solid design.
The design is symmetrical so no adjustments need to be made for lefty knitters.
The picture is created in garter stitch on a stockinette background. The border is seed stitch, but the pattern is written so that you may substitute a preferred border if you wish.
