A dishcloth with cable knit motifs, knitted from the bottom up, with a garter st border.

Put two of my dishcloth patterns into your cart and pay for only one! No code needed.

The pattern comes with charts as well as row by row written instructions, and directions on how to resize it into a larger item, e.g. baby blanket. An online version of the chart and its row by row instructions, with a progress tracker by Stitch Fiddle, is also included.

A very elegant dishcloth, yet it only uses the most simple cable stitches. It’s a quick knit that results in a stylish piece, very suitable for a small gift. It can also serve as a lovely blanket square - well, rectangle, anyway… - or can be resized for a larger project.

“- I found the pattern very enjoyable and very well written.”
“- I absolutely love the pattern. I had never done cables before -this was my first foray & had zero problems understanding it and thoroughly enjoyed it!”
“- I enjoyed it! The cables were simple and they turned out well. And, as has been true of other of your patterns, I find that it has nice balance of simplicity and challenge -- there’s enough challenge to keep me interested, but it’s also simple enough that I can watch a show (or, for most of the first one, a softball game) and knit at the same time.”
“- Pattern knits up quick and easy..I think this would be a good one for someone new to cables.”
“- It’s a great pattern. We’ll done and easy to understand”
