I like the pattern but I don’t like dishcloths that are 12 inches square. I prefer them to be about 8 inches square so I would reduce the number of stitches to about 35.
what was the answer on how many stitchs for a 8×8 dishcloth. Was 35 sts correct?
Hello Fellow knitters 🙂 just going to try this pattern out, I am a beginner and was wondering on row 4 it says repeat last 3 rows… does that mean start from the first and second rows that say knit. so am i knitting the next 2 rows then doing the yo/k2tog row then repeat? does this make sense? I’m sorry, like I said I am a beginner:) Thanks.
do you need to knit aall 3 rows or only the 3rd row.
I’m guessing that you mean yo (yarn over) instead of y.fwd. You may want to correct that for beginners.
Very easy project to do for a beginner like myself. Thanks so much
i have one of these and i think that they are better then the ones that u buy at the store …. they are like sooo helpful seems like a great idea to do for a skewl projesct! xP
I’ve been making my own dishcloths for years (mind you, not as fancy) and if nothing else i find that they last much longer than shop bought ones!!!!
Great! Simple & quick to knit up. Note: yfwd = yo. I used size 8 needles and added one more row of knit at the end to even out the pattern, since the first 2 rows were knit, I wanted to end in 2 rows of knit. Also, bind off loosely.
I Crocker around the knitted eases in a contract colour.
What’s your pattern?
I have been looking for some different patterns for dishcloths as I make them for my daughter.
