The other day I shared some holiday-themed washcloths/dishcloths you could knit as a gift, but what if you don’t want to make something that can only be used a month or so out of the year?
Today I bring you the Seed Stitch Stripe Dishcloth by Just Be Crafty, and one that’s called the Christmas cloth from Ribbed for Your Pleasure, but if it weren’t knit in red, white and green it could be appropriate for any time of year.
The Seed Stitch cloth is still mostly Stockinette with Seed Stitch edging and a stripe in a contrasting color that’s also worked in Seed Stitch.
The Christmas cloth uses butterfly stitch, a process by which you slip a certain number of stitches repeatedly then work the strands of yarn together with a stitch to make a gathering of thread that looks sort of like a butterfly.
They’re both really pretty, really easy, really useful and a great addition to a gift basket or another semi-homemade gift.
