A while back, I found the knitting pattern for the almost lost dishcloths. This pattern has been adapted to a circular pattern without the petal like edges. This is called the Crazy Eights dishcloth. To find these patterns, see the Simply Notable blog:

and

Making dishcloths/washcloths from these patterns is addictive. Hopefully less costly than other addictions. LOL With the Crazy Eights pattern, I made 9 repeats instead of 8. It lays down much better with this modification. The Almost Lost pattern is fine the way it is written. I think I like it better, however; I like the clean, simple design of the Crazy Eights pattern. I used a dk size cotton yarn, but any cotton would be fine. I started with an 8 needle size and changed it to a 6. The stitches looked too loose with an 8. Which pattern do you like? I think these would make great gifts with a nice bar of handmade soap, or dish soap. Handmade gifts are made from the heart.
Have a great week! Dawnie
