Knitting More Dishcloths…


Maybe it’s time to branch out to a new pattern…I just keep knitting these dishcloths! They are so easy and “mindless” that I can work on them anywhere and they still turn out just fine. Most of these were made while driving (I wasn’t the one driving!) or while watching a movie. I’m almost finished reading The Mom Walk. It’s been a very encouraging read. Full of grace for moms.
I love this pattern; I start out with three stitches (it makes for a sharper corner). But now that my eyesight is failing, it’s not as easy to knit anymore.

It’s my favorite pattern to knit! I’ve never tried it with 3 stitches–I’ll have to try that next time.
Thank you! This is one if my very favorite all time patterns. With all of us being in lock down, what a great time to start making gifts for family and friends.
Hi Lori! So glad it was helpful! And I agree, this is the perfect time to work on handmade gifts. I just started working on a new one, too!
I love the pattern but I always end up using a size 5 and do up to 65 stitches. Wondering if I’d have too much gapping if I too used a size 9.
I’m not sure. I always just make the pattern as written. I’ve used size 5 and size 9 needles (following the pattern), and both turned out well.
Thanks, Amanda! They are fun to knit. 🙂
love the colors joy!
these are my favorite things to knit.
we use them in the bath and for dishes.
Hello, Marie!
Thank you so much for letting me know that you like the pattern! I didn't create it (it seems to be a public-domain type of pattern, handed down from one knitter to another through the years), but I do love it, too.
Happy knitting! 🙂
I'm still knitting them also! I started when you wrote your first post on this topic! Your version of this basic dishcloth pattern is the best! I have tried more complicated patterns, but it is, after all, a dishcloth, why complicate things? They are meant to be well used :o) They do make wonderful gifts. Blessings, Marie
Thank you for leaving a comment, Mrs. A! And congratulations on knitting your first three rows! 🙂
