Pattern Notes: To speed knit this cloth e-wrap and knit the knit stitches in the garter stitch on all sides and flat knit within the picture portion of the pattern. Beginning tail weaving tip: On round one, just before you reach the last three to four pegs, take the tail piece and e-wrap pegs clockwise.

Pleasee don't limit this pattern to just dishcloths! This pattern is one of several I am designing with a zoo animal or jungle theme. This pattern will also work well as blocks for a baby blanket. With both the Monkey Face Dishcloth pattern in my free patterns section over in the right hand column, and with this pattern, you could easily use two different yarn colors. For example, in the Lion Face pattern, use two different gold colors, one light and one dark. Where the pattern indicates a purl stitch, use the darker gold color and where the pattern says to knit, use the lighter gold. This would work well for the Monkey Face cloth as well. Use two different browns, for instance.
As I did with the Monkey Face dishcloth pattern, this pattern will also be added to my free patterns section very soon. Have fun!

Super cute!
Oh, I really like the idea of jungle/zoo animal blanket! I would so make that for my little nephew! :D Your dishcloth designs are always so cute, too! :D
And about your 2yo unravelling yarn....at least she wasn't sucking on it. I have caught Stephanie, on several occasions, with yarn in her mouth sucking on it. GROSS! Besides the fact that the yarn is soaked after that! :P
Oh, and I guess I should mention that I fall in the same group with Maria....you have caused me to get an EFG sock loom. I haven't ordered it yet, but will any day now. I am working on hubby to get him to add in a Wonderloom while I am at it. ;) I am claiming that the Wonderloom can be an early b-day gift since my b-day is in May when we usually don't have ANY money. But I definitely will be ordering an oval EFG sock loom. They look so....beautiful! :D
