My parents bought a condo in Florida a few years ago, and we all traveled there for Spring Break. I wanted to bring a housewarming gift, and my first thought was beach-themed washcloths. I planned on knitting the last washcloth on the plane but somehow I completely forgot to download or print the pattern. I still wanted to knit one more cloth, so I used an app on my Ipad to quickly sketch a palm tree on a desert island on graph paper. I used that simple drawing as my pattern and came up with this washcloth.
