The free Summer in the Sun Dishcloth knitting pattern by Snickerdoodle Knits (that's me!) is now available for your knitting pleasure! This simple dishcloth uses simple lace techniques to create a quick, fun summer knitting project that provides bright, cheery vibes for your kitchen year-round. 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 Yellow. This is a 100% cotton worsted weight yarn. Any solid color yarn would look great with this pattern. I highly recommend picking your favorite color to maximize the cheerful aspect of the dishcloth 😄 You can check out projects other knitters have created on Ravelry here.
You could also use a multi-color yarn, but you won't see the sun motif as well. It would have a look similar to my blue and white Lacy Snowflake Dishcloth.

Here are a few colors that I think would look great, but I honestly think just about anything would work well! Is there one that speaks to you? Click any of the photos below to view the yarn on Michael's website.
