Zigzag Herringbone Cloth
An absorbent, lightweight and scrubby textured cloth which is fun and relaxing to make!
Work it up in a couple of bold contrast colours for a fun look, a pair of similar shades for a subtle variegation. Otherwise, try a single colour that matches your kitchen or bathroom or one that will add a seasonal touch or the favourite shade of a gift recipient.
The tilted stitches used for the main square provide a herringbone pattern and an interesting chevron edge. This is enhanced by following the path of the stitches with a simple slip stitch edging and surface crochet
Enjoy making your cloth!
