I have made and used a lot of dishcloths over the years now, and I have come up with the perfect size for me (approx. 6” x 7”) and love creating them in different stitch designs. All of the stitch designs I have chosen to use are tight knit (without holes), so your fingers don’t poke through while washing with them. Regardless if you are new to knitting or not, I think you will love these. :)

If you are new to knitting, they are simple enough with only using knit and purl, but will give you practice in alternating these stitches on the same row, and yet will yield beautiful textured results with these basic stitches. You don’t have to have an extensive skill and knowledge base of knitting to make beautiful and useful items for yourself and to give as gifts. :)

Note: I have 3 balls of yarn listed in the materials list, so you can make them in all three colors as shown. You will be able to make 9 dishcloths with this amount of yarn (1 of each stitch design in each color). You can get just 1 ball of yarn and make 3 dishcloths in all of the stitch designs in the same color, if you prefer.

Materials Needed:

Yarn:
1 ball Sugar ‘n Cream in Warm Brown
1 ball Peaches & Creme in Gold
