Washing dishes with a homemade knitted dishcloth brings joy to an every day task!

Here’s a set of 3 dishcloth knitting patterns of unique patterns!

Best of all, if you know the knit stitch and the purl stitch, then you can accomplish this project!

Each dishcloth measures roughly 6×6″.

Pair these dishcloths with some homemade melt and pour soap, and you have the most lovely gift to give!

Be sure to use cotton yarn for this project!

Synthetic yarns will not properly absorb soap and water and won’t be very pleasant to use.

Untreated wool will felt and shrink.

Linen would also be a worthwhile yarn to use — but it is pricey, and you may be disappointed when your well-loved dishrags eventually wear out!

Cotton is the best yarn to use. It’s inexpensive, and a good workhorse!
