Apr: Easter Egg Washcloth

Growing up my grandma Miller used to organize an easter egg hunt every year for my cousins. She hid plastic eggs full of various treasures and goodies around her yard - in the strawberry patch, tied on strings in trees, in the grass. For this easter egg hunt, all you need is some needles, yarn and a little time. This pattern is a fun, fast project that is sure to bring a smile to your face as you make it, and use it. And you can share the love by giving a knit dishcloth to someone else! Using just knits and purls, watch an egg grow in the center of this washcloth.

NOTE: I like the way a seed stitch border lays and the texture it provides for scrubbing. You could easily replace it with a garter stitch border instead if you prefer. To do so, knit rows 1-3, knit the first three and last three stitches on rows 4-34 and knit rows 35-37

This pattern would also be suitable for a potholder/trivet or displayed as a decorative table or shelf mat.
