Create colorful Fruit Citrus Slice Knitted Dishcloth Patterns in cotton yarn with free instructions and video tutorials. These slices are great year-round as a dishcloth, washcloth, trivet, or sweet home decor.
Measuring at 8 inches in diameter, this is a fun little quick knit that is sure to challenge and obsess you! Although this design is a rounded shape, we are knitting on straight needles, not on circulars… and no decreasing nor increasing stitches either. Wedge by wedge, our citrus shape appears by knitting twelve little triangles with the magic of turning! Make sure to watch my step-by-step video tutorial below… let’s knit it up!
