Happy August 1st!!!
Are you KAL folks ready for your August lacy dishcloth pattern???
It’s a fun one!!!
Fall River Fibers Dishcloth KAL Fall 2026 #2
Blush ballroom lace Dishcloth
Skill Level – Easy (Advanced beginner)
This dishcloth is worked flat, with a garter-stitch border and a repeating lace panel in the center. The lace uses yarn overs and decreases (k2tog and ssk) to create the pattern. If you’re newer to lace, take it slowly for the first repeat; after that, it becomes very rhythmic.
Count your stitches after each right-side lace row if you want the calmest knitting experience (especially in the first few repeats).
