Waffle Stitch is a fun and easy knitting stitch pattern that’s great for a washcloth or dishcloth because of the great nubby texture of the stitch.
The stitch is kind of a combination of Stockinette Stitch and ribbing, so it doesn’t need a whole lot of attention, and the results are great. This is a good one for if you’re just learning to knit and need some practice switching between knitting and purling in the same row. It’s good for learning to read your knitting, too.

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.
