Kangaroo Knit Dishcloth Pattern

Description

This knit dishcloth picture is of a kangaroo so cute you’d think he’s about ready to hop off the square. The design is a solid one in profile with the kangaroo facing to the left.

The design is not symmetrical so adjustments may 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.
