Mug of Beer Knit Dishcloth Pattern

This dishcloth design is of an overflowing mug of beer. Whether you’re a fan of beer, root beer, or butterbeer, this design is perfect!

The pattern is a bit more intricate than some of my other designs. For a portion of it, you will need to count and pay attention on every row, rather than every other row.

The design is not symmetrical, so adjustments may be needed by lefty knitters if it matters which way the mug faces and overflows.

The picture is created in garter stitch and double moss 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.
