Free Dishcloth Patterns

February 4, 2009 by Terrye 4 Comments

You all seem to like the dishcloth patterns we dig up, and of course, if they’re free, that’s all the better, so I went a-searchin’.

Probably the largest repository I found was here:

http://www.knittingpatterncentral.com/directory/dishcloths.php

They’ve got everything you can imagine, except the Red Wings. Hmmm, someone will have to design a Red Wings dish cloth, but don’t look here, no time for that.

I have a sweater that’s almost done (would have been a lot more done, if my 2 year old gd hadn’t gotten hold of it!) A scarf in the works and a hooded scarf/vest thing going. Oh and a pair of socks. Yeah, and don’t forget the vest that I had to start because I was in a mood that day and it was labeled experienced! (I’ll show them!) And that’s just what can be seen at a moments notice, I’m sure there are lots more.

So anyway, back to dishcloths, there is a wonderful Yahoo group called dishcloth of the week where they work on different techniques while making their cloths.

Here’s another website with more dishcloths that anyone could ever knit:

You know what else I’ve found that has nothing to do with dishcloths? Facebook! What a fun little time waster that is! Look me up, if you mention craftgossip, I’ll be sure to friend you!

OK, there are lots of dishcloths but all of them are knitted, what about crochet ones? My knitting leaves something to be desired, I have knitted dishcloths cause that is something I can knit and actually use!

The lady that is having trouble knitting, I learned from a neighbour. She saw instantly why my mother could not teach me. It was the needles. As soon as she gave me circular needles, I was hooked. Maybe that is the same thing that is troubling you. A tip to remove the curls in the cord, turn hot water tap on and run the cord from needle to needle. If this doesn’t work boil water and in a large saucepan place the needles for a short while.

Christmas Stocking Knitting Patterns for Your Pets

I’ve shared a lot of Christmas stocking knitting patterns over the years (see posts 1, 2, 3 for example) but what if you want to knit a stocking for a non-human member of your family. If you’re looking for Christmas stocking knitting patterns for your cats or dogs, this is the post for you.

These large paw print stockings are perfect for either dogs or cats, so they’re great to knit if you have both. They are worked in the round using DK weight yarn, and the stocking measures about 17 inches/43 cm from the top to the heel. You can get the pattern from nicolaluke.

The K4 Project has a super cute Kitty Christmas stocking pattern, which is worked in worsted weight yarn. They also have a dog version, or you can buy both and get a discount if you have both dogs and cats to knit for. Both projects have two patterns, showing how to work the stockings flat or in the round.

Put your dog into a Christmas scene with this stocking pattern from ifanhourChild. It shows a dog in a dog house in the snow, and has room for the dog’s name at the top. It’s worked flat using worsted weight yarn and the pattern includes charts for many small and medium dog breeds (there’s a separate listing for bigger dogs) so you can stitch a dog that looks like yours.

Annie’s Woolens has both dog and cat stocking knitting patterns that are worked in worsted weight yarn in the round. You can change up the colors to suit your pet if you want, and they come with an alphabet chart for personalization. Or you can stick with holiday colors and buy a kit to make the dog or cat stocking.

Waiting for Santa Paws is a pattern from Kate Agner on Ravelry that would be cute for a dog or a cat. It looks like a leg with a paw print on the bottom part of the foot and more paw prints running around the top of the leg. This is a great option if you don’t want to mess with a heel turn because it doesn’t have a heel, because dogs and cats don’t have heels so why would their stockings?
