The free United States Flag Dishcloth knitting pattern by Snickerdoodle Knits (that's me!) is now available for your knitting pleasure! This simple dishcloth creates a quick, fun summer knitting project that provides a fun and festive piece of decor for your kitchen. Learn more and get the links to purchase the pattern here, or have the free PDF sent to your email.
The yarn that I used for the pattern samples is Lily Sugar 'n Cream in Red, Dazzle Blue, and White. This is a 100% cotton worsted weight yarn. I think it would be fun to play with different shades of pinks/reds/oranges, blues/grays, and whites/creams/grays to create unique flags, each with a different personality!
