Our latest creation is a free knitting pattern for a daisy flower afghan square or washcloth square! This square would work great as a washcloth or dishcloth, or you could put it together with some of the other squares to make an afghan or blanket (all my squares are the same size). Finished square approximately 22 cm x 22 cm (8.5 inches x 8.5 inches)

Size and Materials
Size depends on yarn and needle size used – with DK/Light Worsted Weight yarn and 4 mm (US 6, UK 8) knitting needles, finished squares are approximately 22 cm x 22 cm (8.5 inches x 8.5 inches)
Any sized needle and yarn can be used (please refer to yarn label for recommended needle size), however different needle and yarn sizes will produce different sized squares, so if you plan to make an afghan or a set of these it is best to use the same needle size and yarn for each square.

I love when you share these designed dishcloths with great instructions. Thank you for sharing the pattern.😊👍❤️
So glad you enjoy them!
Can’t wait to make this as a dishcloth for my friend/neighbor Martha! We share flower seeds and cuttings along with laughter.
Thank you!
I have just taught myself ( at the age of 65) to knit. I have always been a crocheted. But I love your dishcloths designs. The patterns are so easy to follow. And this is the first time I made something with no mistakes. Thank you..
Thanks so much, Barbara 🙂 So glad you’re enjoying the patterns
I got an email this morning to bring something yellow to Bible study this Friday for a sunshine box for the mom of one of the leaders starting chemo next week. I hurriedly looked to see if I still had yellow yarn after finding this pattern and got going on it. Almost halfway done this afternoon between walking the dog and doing other things. Thanks for posting the pattern.
