Bi-Colored Boxes Knit Dishcloth

Bi Colored Boxes Knit Cloth

I designed this as a Birthday Present from me to all of you, my friends. But since I couldn’t get it done in time for my birthday on the 30th, I decided to present it as a Labor Day gift. Hope you like it enough to knit it.

Take care everyone!
