Dishcloth Knitting Patterns

, by . Leave a Comment

Dishcloths and washcloths are fun and quick project that are great for travel, for trying out new stitches and for having on hand as gifts. Here are a few fun projects to try, which you can find on Etsy.

The Woven Waves Dish Towel from Nich Knits uses slipped stitches to make a fun textured pattern that looks more complicated than it is but can totally be worked by new knitters.

Oh La Lana Designs has a great set of dishcloth knitting patterns that uses only knits and purls, so it’s great for newer knitters who want to try out some new stitch patterns. The little diamonds in particular are a lot of fun and add scrubbing power.

The Ocean View Dishcloth from Goose Creek Knits alternates Garter Stitch and ribbing for a look that’s really interesting but still easy to knit. This one is worked on the bias so it adds a different skill but it’s still simple to knit.

The Lennox Washcloth from Cluck Cluck Boots has a fun ribbing pattern that’s great in a solid color, or try it in stripes for a different look.

Another fun thing to do with dishcloths is work a simple shape in a contrasting stitch pattern, such as this butterfly washcloth from EZCareKnits.

Increase the skill level by working a circle with the Fruit Dishcloth from StudioKnit. It’s worked in wedges and would be so cute to knit in a bunch of different colors (or to match the decor in your kitchen, bathroom, etc.).

Or try the Stars and Stripes Dishcloth from Faisdodos. This one is worked in the round from the outside in, using self-striping yarn to get the multicolored effect. So fun!

As a knitter, I have a few tips to share with you when it comes to working with the Eyelet Stitch.

First and foremost, it is important to have a clear understanding of the stitch pattern you will be using. Make sure to read the pattern and familiarize yourself with the instructions before starting.

When working with yarn overs, it’s important to make sure that you are not twisting the yarn when you make the yarn over. This will ensure that the hole created is clean and even.

Pay attention to your tension when working the yarn overs. If your tension is too loose, the holes will be too big, and if it’s too tight, the holes will be too small.

Use a stitch marker to help you keep track of where the eyelets are in your pattern. This will make it easier to identify and make any corrections if needed.

Use a contrasting-colored yarn or thread to weave through the holes of the eyelet stitches after the work is finished. This will help to define the eyelets and make them more visible.

Practice makes perfect! As with any new technique, the more you work with the eyelet stitch, the more comfortable and confident you will become with it.

By following these tips, you’ll be able to create beautiful and neat Eyelet Stitch designs in your knitting projects. Happy Knitting!
