So, It's been a while since I've posted a new dishcloth pattern, but as promised here is something for halloween. My original idea was to go along with the science lab dishcloths, and make a Frankenstein's Lab, but it seemed way to intricate for too little effect. So, here's the monster complete with flat head, and surgical scars.
This cloth is actually smaller than most of my cloths. Recently I have had several people tell me they like a small cloth. If you want a larger one just add extra border stitches, and rows.
There is another halloween cloth, or two, on the way. I still have to get them test knitted. I may find the time to get one of them done tonight.

This is too cool -- thanks for sharing the pattern!!
Great job Brian...very cool
Frankenstein was never my favorite monster, haha, but I think the cloth pattern came out great, I think I maight have to give this one a try.
that's.... insane. :) in a good way though.
This is wonderful - I am trying to do it for my sister who's birthday is 10-31 - but I am stuck - how do you do the mouth where you have 6x indicated on the pattern. Is it a cross stitch that is added after you knit the pattern or what?
The 6x in the pattern means to work the instructions inside the previous parenthesis() six times. There is no cross stitch involved. If you knit the instructions as written the complete image will appear in your cloth.
Thank you for the free pattern. I had lots of fun making it.
