[@hootowlholler3760]

This is the best knitting tutorial I've ever seen for making a dishcloth. Thank you for sharing your talents. You are so kind!

[@thediymommy]

Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@Tootsie55]

Love these dish cloths. I make these and they are worth every minute it takes to make them.

[@thediymommy]

I agree! They're so useful & relaxing to make.

Mary Turpin want make dish clothes on my knitting machine like know how to do it

[@PattymacMakes]

I always recommend my new students use wooden needles to start. Metal is so slippery that it can be incredibly difficult and frustrating for brand new people to use them. Pretty tutorial!! It’s good to be back into knitting season again! 💛

[@thediymommy]

Great point. Thank you!

[@PattymacMakes]

You're welcome!! I do appreciate that you are getting this wonderful craft in front of so many new people.

I must have knitted dozens of these over the years, but never with the eyelets - a nice touch! Never seen the working yarn held in the left hand either; will give it a go, thank you for introducing me to a new technique.

Kristina, my Mom used to make these for us. I still have them and really love them, now that she is no longer with us to make us more. I know how to knit but never watched how she made them so Thank You for the tutorial, I might make some more.

[@thediymommy]

Aw, what a wonderful keepsake. ❤️ You should definitely try these out!

[@yaboijon2989]

Thanks for the lesson. Just the right speed to learn.

[@heliaalves9062]

[@thediymommy]

Thank you! ❤️

[@stephanieflamer7900]

❤️my mom and grandmother make these.... I have had hundreds over the years and love them. I never learned how to make them but I really should. Thanks for sharing this.

[@thediymommy]

My grandma & mom too!

[@judyblaise1639]

I’ve been wanting to make these. Thank you

[@yaboijon2989]

Looking forward to learning the hat and mitten lessons.

[@julies5515]

Thank you for jumping right to the project. I can crochet a dishcloth, but have wanted to knit a dishcloth. This looks like a good pattern to start with. I think i will give it a try today.

[@thediymommy]

Great Julie!

[@christmasina]

Yay!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[@jdamselfly]

So cute! I just made one today, it only took a few hours (I am somewhat of a beginner). I love using sustainable cloths for washing dishes or counters. Also I really like your video, the music and colors.

[@nelidaquintana6419]

Good tutorial. I enjoy the video

[@carolinagrace402]

love your videos!

[@amalyousuf2217]

That’s very nice Christina U gave me a nice memory of knitting when I was a teen. Me n my sister used to always knit n we made ourselves a sweater it was very fun n addicting lol. I forgot most of it but I still remember these basic steps for a simple stitch. Thank you 😍😍

[@thediymommy]

I am loving knitting again!

[@debraarbuthnott3380]

Fantastic video. Your style of knitting is different from mine and it was good to see how you do it. Your video is a great tutorial for knitting, well done😊❤

[@thediymommy]

Thank you!

[@rosearthur983]

That was an interesting tutorial on knitting . I don't know if I could do that or not. Maybe? I love the variegated yarn you chose to make the washcloth & scrubby cloth very pretty🤗. Enjoyed watching!💕

[@thediymommy]

Thank you! You should give it a go, even if it doesn't turn out perfect, it's a pretty relaxing hobby and every time you knit, you'll get better and better!

[@naidaanstey547]

i remember knitting those in the 90's! Have you ever done the snowflake pattern?

[@thediymommy]

No, I haven't!

[@jenmarriott943]

Do you start decreasing on an even or an odd row?

[@Patti-1962]

I have always wanted to learn to knit, but was too intimidated. I have tried before with NO success. Maybe I should try again. The smaller size dish cloth you made would make a great coaster!!

[@Cormuz27]

hi, I’m trying to recreate this pattern in a blanket. When you increase, counts as 1 stitch? I’m confused 😬 thanks for your video

[@rhyfelwrDuw]

Fabulous project for anybody including beginners! If there was a not so scratchy yarn, could maybe make a face cloth too, with the pattern, perhaps?

[@thediymommy]

Yes, you could!

[@rayneeday814]

how big is your big dishcloth? i recently made one for a friend but wanted to see if a smaller size is acceptable as well 🙂🙂

[@Bookhardtsbooks]

My washcloths keep coming out diamond shaped the start and end side are stiffer and sink in and the other corners are super stretchy and pull out more making a diamond shape. Any suggestions?

[@thediymommy]

I'm not too sure. Try playing with the tension on your needles? You might be making the increseases looser than the decreases or visa versa.

[@coffeeh03666]

are you a lefty? lol but I love this, definitely going to make these as gifts

[@thediymommy]

I'm not, but my mom is!

[@swathismishra2770]

Materials???

[@joannescollectiveco.4240]

❤️

[@tenasirama]

Casting on section skips over details of casting on too quickly

[@orietdiamond4185]

Forgot how to decrease

[@ayahboyer6365]

I'd learn very good from her had she went waaaay more slower in explaining how to do it. Even at half speed she's too fast😭 so frustrating!

[@alexw2531]

Too difficult for beginners
