Five Petals

**Skill Level:** Advanced Beginner In Chinese philosophy and Hinduism, the five petals represent the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and spirit. The five petals can also reflect a hand’s five fingers or a five-pointed human star, symbolizing our human potential and our connection to the planet. The cleaning cloth is knitted using mosaic garter stitch. Just one strand of color works every two rows while the other strand rests at the edge. Gauge and dimensions are provided with a light worsted-weight cotton yarn (nice in a dk-weight too). Choose colors that contrast well. Try your camera’s “black & white” setting to look at your yarns in grayscale and check the contrast between your selection(s). Both positive and negative charts are included in the pattern. Great for the kitchen and bath--gift them away with some nice soap. **Sample Size Blocked (in Rowan Handknit Cotton):** 8.5” ( cm) Square **Sample Yardage (in Rowan Handknit Cotton):** 41 yds (39 m) Main Color (includes 10% buffer) 49 yds (39 m) Contrast Color (includes 10% buffer)
