Vine Lace Dishcloth Pattern

April 27, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

Vine lace dishcloth knitting pattern.It’s time for another installment of the Knitted Kitchen Blog Hop. This week I have a fun, simple lace pattern for you that should definitely encourage you to try lace knitting if you’ve never done it before.

Vine Lace looks a little complex, but really, it’s not at all. In fact, it’s almost a one-row pattern. All the wrong-side rows are purled, and the two alternating pattern rows on the right side are just one stitch off from each other. Once you get the rhythm of it, it’s really easy.

Part of what makes this pattern so interesting is the pairing of ssk and k2tog decreases. And because the increases and decreases aren’t right next to each other, the edge will scallop, though the Garter Stitch border I put on mine helps with that a little.Vine lace dishcloth knitting pattern.

Materials

  • about 72 yards or most of a skein of Lion Brand Yarns Kitchen Cotton (I used color 108, Blue Ice)
  • pair of size 7 US/4.5 mm knitting needles

Gauge

Gauge is not critical but I got 19 stitches and 22 rows per 4 inches/10 cm or almost 5 stitches and 5.5 rows per inch/2.5 cm in pattern.

Size

Finished dishcloth is about 10 inches/25 cm square. If you want to change size, the pattern works on a multiple of 9 plus 4 stitches. Note: pattern begins on a wrong-side row.

How to Knit the Vine Lace Dishcloth

Vine lace dishcloth knitting pattern.Cast on 48 stitches.

K 4 rows.

Leaving the first 4 and last 4 stitches of each row in Garter Stitch, begin Vine Lace pattern as follows:

Rows 1 and 3: Purl

Row 2: K3, *yarn over, k2, slip slip knit, knit 2 together, k2, yarn over, k1. Repeat from * across, end k1.

Row 4: K2, *yo, k2, ssk, k2tog, k2, yo, k1. Repeat from * across, end k2.

Work in pattern until piece is almost square (the border takes about .25 inch/.5 cm).

Knit 4 rows.

Bind off.

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.
