This is a beginner-friendly reversible pattern. Requires dishcloth cotton (any weight, but I normally use worsted weight) & your favorite dishcloth needles (mine are size 7).

This pattern uses increases & short rows to knit 8x8 stockinette square in a 4x4 space, alternating with regular 4x4 reverse stockinette squares. The interior pattern consists of 7 squares across, with 9 rows of squares.

A checkerboard dishcloth based on alternating 6x6 linen stitch & stockinette squares with a 5 stitch garter border.

Worsted weight dishcloth based on the Ribbed Cables Stitch from eknittingstitches.com

A plainer version of my other spiral scrubbies.

This pattern requires the use of double points or circular needles since you move the stitches from one end to the other at the end of every other row. You must use either 2 different balls of yarn or 2 different ends of one ball of yarn.

This is a scrubbie inspired by Judith Prindle’s crocheted Spiral Scrubbie. Good for using odds & ends of dishcloth yarn. I prefer cotton, but feel free to use acrylic if you want an acrylic scrubbie.
