A Non-Holiday Dishcloth or Two

December 11, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

quick and easy dishcloth knitting patternsThe 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.

Why use dishcloths? Dishcloths are re-useable and save on kitchen waste. Most dishcloths are made using cotton yarn and can be thrown into the washing machine when dirty. This makes them very hygienic, especially when compared to kitchen sponges, which sit on the sinks for days if not weeks.  Another great thing about dishcloths is when it comes to knitting the knit up quickly and are great for gift giving. Everyone needs a dishcloth.  For gifting, It’s not something that has to be in fashion or a certain colour for the recipient to like it, though there are so many great dishcloth pattern designs out there.
