I am 73. I knitted this pattern for years until about a year ago my dish cloths began to look wanky. I just couldn't figure it out until I found this tutorial. Thank goodness I know where my mistakes are because I love knitting mindlessly this pattern and then giving it as a gift. People never fail to appreciate it.

I love knitting on just about everything. I love knitting washcloths and giving 3 or 4 wrapped up with a very nice bar of soap. Every person I’ve given them to loves them and mention that they would love more. I was in my Drs office last week and she asked me what I was knitting. I told her and she had to feel it. I go back in August so I’m trying to get some worked up for her. 💜 Thank you so much for your great video.

If you watch starting at 10:23 , it shows that last stitch on the needle, and you simply pull your needle out of that stitch (keeping the loop that was left), and then follow the instructions for cutting the thread and pulling it through that loop (that last stitch) that was left. This binds off the stitches. Hope that helps!

Hello Joy, I just finished my first dishcloth but it was quite small so I am curious as to what size needles & yarn you used here. I used 4.5m needles & Bernat Handicrafter cotton. I have seen a couple other videos here where they have used the Bernat cotton. Could you advise me on increasing the stitches can it be done using more than 45 stitches making the cloth larger. Sorry I like you video & I used to do the cloths years ago. I am an experienced knitter (hard to believe I am sure) because this is so easy. So in a nutshell should I be using another type of yarn or larger needles or both? I would appreciated whatever you can advise. Many thanks for a very friendly & easy to follow video.

Hello! Thank you so much for your kind words. I used US size 7 needles and Lily Sugar 'n Cream cotton yarn. Using larger needles will make the dishcloth larger. Here is the exact yarn I used: amzn.to/3rw7T76 (this is my affiliate link). I hope that helps, and thanks so much for watching!

@ArtfulHomemaking4 жыл бұрын
So glad it was helpful! I've also made this pattern in a rectangular shape, which makes more of a dishtowel. I have a blog post with instructions for that here: www.artfulhomemaking.com/kitchen-towel-knitting-pattern/ I haven't made anything larger than the dishtowel (which is rectangular instead of square), but you could make it larger. You would just keep increasing until it's about the size you want and then decrease. I haven't tried it (and I'm not sure about the scale), but others have told me that's how they've made blankets or afghans with this same basic pattern.
@gloreese4 жыл бұрын
Repeat your increase row until you have 50 stitches on your needle to get a larger dish Cloths. Very Pink Knits has a KZbin video where she covers this vintage dishcloth and has a written pattern available for both the square and rectangular version. May I also suggest that you use as short of needles that will work and are comfortable. Working this pattern on long needles is torture. 😁
