I have had a few requests for the knitted dishcloth pattern. I sell these at the Farmer's Market and our family store site (new site under construction).
I've adjusted it to the size that I like, but you can do the same as well.
Note: for dishcloth I knit to 52 on my needle, for a larger dishcloth or washcloth, knit 72
This is not my pattern, and I will be honest, I do not remember where I got it. I have no notes on this pattern. I'll try to be better and writing down book titles, Web sites, etc. I do know that I have had it for a few years now.
Pattern:
Cast on 4 stitches
Rows 1-2: Knit
Row 3: Knit 2, yarn over, knit across row.
Repeat until you have the desired number of stitches (original pattern stated 42 stitches, but I found these too small) See above note: 52 for dishcloth and 72 for a large rag
Once you have the desired amount of stitches on your needle: Knit 2, turn, Knit 2, turn, Knit 1, Knit 2 together, yarn over, Knit 2 together, Knit to end of row.
Next row: Knit 2, turn, Knit 2, turn, Knit 1, Knit 2 together, yarn over, Knit 2 together, Knit to end of row.
Next row: Knit 1, Knit 2 together, yarn over, Knit 2 together, Knit to end of row. Repeat until you have 4 stitches left on your needle.
Last row: Knit 4
Bind off.
Thanks, Kristina! I needed a knitted washcloth pattern. We must have started knitting at the same time or there abouts. I really have learned patience through knitting....all that tearing out and starting over! LOL! But I do love it and the tearing out is getting less and less. Now, onto socks!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kristina! I needed a knitted washcloth pattern and that o ne looks perfect! I think we must have learned to knit about the same time. It really taught me patience as there was much tearing out and re-knitting at first. Now, onto socks! LOL! (More tearing out and re-knitting I'm afraid!)
ReplyDeleteI love the edging! What kind of yarn do you use for your dishcloths?
ReplyDeleteI use 100% cotton yarn.
