Knitted Capricorn Dishcloth

Homewares

Imagine a cozy, handcrafted dishcloth featuring the zodiac sign of Capricorn, intricately knitted with care and attention to detail. This unique piece combines functionality with a touch of personalization, making it a perfect addition to any kitchen or home decor. The Capricorn symbol, represented by the sea-goat, adds a whimsical and mystical element to this practical item, making it a conversation starter for guests and a special touch for everyday use. Whether you are a Capricorn yourself or simply appreciate the symbolism behind this zodiac sign, this dishcloth is a charming way to infuse your space with personality and charm. Handmade with love and skill, this dishcloth is not only functional but also a work of art that brings a touch of magic to your daily routine.



Size and Materials

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). I highly recommend Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash Yarn.

With Worsted Weight yarn and and 4.5 mm knitting needles (US size 7, UK size 7) finished square is approximately 26 cm x 26 cm (10 inches x 10 inches). I highly recommend Cascade 220 (Aran)

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.

Chart Instructions
