Video #96 How to knit - a dishcloth

[@bernicebernstein2553]

You are the perfect teacher. Thank you so much for this. Your clear and concise instructions don’t muddle me up 😂

[@whitepantha234]

As Victoria Lambert said 3 years ago -mind blown by casting on method .I'm mid 70s and have been put off knitting all my life because casting on is portrayed in SUCH a complicated way . Now I can do it! Yay to this video maker !😄😄😄

[@RedCardinalCrafts]

Yay!!! Congratulations!! Glad I could be of some assistance😊

[@Shashaylah]

This is the BEST video for making a dishcloth. Thanks!

[@RedCardinalCrafts]

Cindy Soper You’re welcome! Glad you liked it.

[@suzy3489]

I haven't done any knitting for at least 30 years....I wanted a simple project to practice with. After looking at many videos your pleasant mannerism and sense of humor won me over.......its like having a friend helping you. Thank you so much for putting this out there...very nice dish cloths as well....it has been very relaxing taking this up again coming at a time when I really need it. Namaste

[@MyLittlePinkCottage]

Hi Suzy, oh good. Glad you liked this. I'm planning on making another knitting video at some point. Maybe using purl and maybe using 4 needles. Probably in the fall sometime. You mentioned it came along at a good time for you. Hope all is well. Take care :-)

Hello! Just thought id pop back in. 2 years ago upon rereading Harry Potter, i decided i was going to learn how to knit. Since no one in my family has ever knit before, I turned to youtube and decided I was going to teach myself. I watched several tutorials that weren’t very clear and became very frustrated and was ready to quit. Then I found this one! It was absolutely perfect! Your instructions were so clear and detailed and thanks to you i knit my very first dishcloth. Since then ive learned dozens of other stitches, learned how to make socks, shawls sweaters and hats, but i owe all of that to you! Thanks so much for making this tutorial and introducing me to my favorite craft!

[@laurenjacobsen7273]

I totally agree with you on the bamboo needles. Once you’ve tried them, you’ll never want to use anything else.

[@phyllisgrant5188]

2 things first changing things up. Taking quick break from crochet. Always have to refer to this video to start and finish. So don’t delete🙃 second I needed a Bermuda fix and I know your there in this video. Freezing here today!

[@victoria.lamb93]

😱 you literally just blew my mind with casting on using your finger. I'm self taught (watching KZbin) and I've never seen any one else do that and it's so simple!

[@dhnh3603]

I love whomever this woman is! You've helped me create my very first wash clothes or dish towels... You've got a wonderful teaching style. Than you

[@TheRose704]

All these great reviews of your tutorial are just a testament to how great your video is. I just loved every moment watching you knit this wonderful little dishcloth. Thank you so very much.

[@longstoryshortz1528]

Great video. I was signed up at a local craft store for a class to learn how to knit a dishcloth. When I arrived, I found out I was the only one registered for the class and then the teacher didn't show up either...ugh! So I decided I would go home and find a video to learn to do it myself. I am so happy I found this one. Instructions were very clear and easy to follow. By the next morning, I had completed my first dishcloth. Thanks!

[@RedCardinalCrafts]

Long StoryShortz Well that was frustrating. I'm glad you found me!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@elizabethosullivan5003]

Over the weekend my cousin showed us the dishcloths she had made. She said it was super easy and since I had been wanting to learn to knit I went out yesterday bought yarn and the bamboo needles and am already almost done my first dishcloth. This was a super easy to follow tutorial! Thanks! I'm not getting ambitious and am starting to plan Christmas gifts!

[@ritamiller7642]

It was sooooo easy to follow your video!!!! One year later.... My project to knit a dishcloth finally accomplished!!! Procrastination!... Go on your way!!!!! 👍🏽

[@RedCardinalCrafts]

Rita Miller Yay!!!! Congratulations!

[@RedCardinalCrafts]

Rita Miller Yay!!!! Congratulations! Good for you!

[@kathleenwobie3050]

I'm over my knitting phobia thanks to you and i even have a dishcloth to show for it!

[@MyLittlePinkCottage]

Kathleen Wobie Yay! That's awesome! Glad I could help!

[@Alessondra317]

This looks easy enough for me to do . I inherited my grandmother's set of knitting needles in about 25 sizes. They are in a striped snap case and I cherish these!! Can't wait to knit something and teach my granddaughters this easy pattern. Thanks again for sharing all your talent. Cindy

[@susanfryman2052]

Bamboo needles and hooks are my favorite too. They even made my hands feel better. Awesome video, thank you, Susan Fryman

[@suzysoundz]

Great video, great project for a beginner like me! I love the dishcloth, but even better, knitting has helped me with my restlessness, nervousness, and fidgeting. I'll probably make thousands of these before I'm done, lol!

[@ewing2win]

I learned three new things watching your dishcloth video... thank you!

[@those_eyes]

Love this pattern! A good pattern for road trips or between projects or between WIPS. I don't have any of these colors in my stash! Next sale I'll purchase some! I saw a tip from pink knits...when you are ready to weave in ends...split the yarn and weave in separately so when you wash there is no chance of the yarn end from coming loose! Thank you for the video! Beautiful stitches!

[@teresaeckert9675]

A very helpful tutorial. Thank you for talking through your tutorial and mentioning hi-lites this was very helpful. Also I appreciate you mentioning that every person may have their preference on how to hold their yarn while knitting, great observation. I really enjoyed your How To Knit - a dishcloth tutorial it is by far the best one I have watched so far. Thanks again! :)

[@kathyparker1994]

I am so glad you did this video. I have been wanting to learn how to knit and this is a great beginner project. Thanks so much!

[@cindybarnes2543]

Very nice, you made it look so easy. I haven't knitted in a very long time, but you've inspired me to find my needles and give this a try. Thanks so much! I enjoy all your channels!

[@alyssakorosi6126]

You're a great teacher ! Nailed this pattern in a few hours after picking up knitting two days ago :) thanks for the help!

[@MyLittlePinkCottage]

Oh good! That's awesome! :-) take care, happy knitting!

[@kikiandlace]

Another goldie: "What I'm actually going to do, in real time, is turn the camera off and go get my kids at school" haha! Love the little banter

[@tadarrelltd]

Wonderful tutorial I finished my first one and it was great...Great job explaining and a very clear video I would recommend this to any beginner.

[@kikiandlace]

Love this quote at 9:34: "Cool... I know!" Thank you.

[@mrsdvanmoll37]

Thank you so much. I've always wanted to make a dish cloth. I thought it would complicated but it wasn't. It worked up really fast. I've made one working on my second.

[@wifighostcruiser9665]

I would start knitting but nobody will let me have sharp objects! :-(

[@mrsdvanmoll37]

WIFIGHOST CRUISER really lol i can understand why

[@cooki10554]

I used to knit a long time ago. It makes me want to go get my knitting needles out. Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing!

[@krizmandark752]

I love it... Tnx...your instruction are so clear.... You have good knitting skills

[@Joanna-wf7vm]

keep those tutorials coming! so easy to understand compare to others. so glad i've watched ur video.

[@suzy3489]

How very nice of you to take the time to reply .......it is amazing how relaxing it was to knit those dish cloths took my mind off of my worries. I have made so many my whole family is very well supplied!! Hope your next knitting lesson is simple enough for me to catch on!! Four needles sounds daunting!!! Do you have any simple pretty baby blanket patterns? I have a new great granddaughter that I would love to make something for. Hope you day is wonderful and you and your family are all happy and healthy.....Suzy

[@MyLittlePinkCottage]

Suzy, You have a great granddaughter!? Congratulations!! I'm working on a baby blanket right now that I'm making for a girl I volunteer with. She's due this month so I better get a move on! It's a simple pattern but it turns out looking quite complicated. I've made crochet blankets before but this it my first knit one. If I can do it you can. I'll show it in an upcoming video on my craft channel. Take care, thanks for watching!

[@carolcaterino4704]

Love your video very easy to follow thank you ♥️🇨🇦

[@RedCardinalCrafts]

You’re welcome 😊

[@emiliep1503]

Thanks for the video! Very easy to understand plus I can actually see what you are doing!

[@esthy09]

Hola! My first needles were clover bamboo and short. Loved them. For some reason I bought a big pair of aluminium needles and after a week I learned to use them... Very frustrating. Anyway thanks for the video :) you have a very nice voice. Take care.

[@barbaragillispie9993]

Love this pattern. Also love my bamboo needles.

[@lorrainesanchez2658]

Thank you so much, your tutorial is great. I've been wanting to learn how to make this dishcloth forever. I tried it and they came out great. :)

[@rubyjhangri5468]

Your video is awesome! Instructions were very clear, easy to follow and made me want to start knitting now ☺

[@plmi1]

I have never heard of a knitted dish cloth before. Here in Finland the most usual first thing to do is a pot holder. I checked that word on Google Trastate, so it might be wrong, but I mean something like an oven mitten. Usually it's made straight back and forth, but I might try this someday.

[@Windkisssed]

Great technique for beginners!!!! Thanks! Lauri

[@twisty0079]

I feel the same way I can't believe I avoided patterns that said YO thank you for keeping it simple plain and clear. I'm the YO queen!!!

[@litsaiosifidou]

Thank you. So nice and funny your knitt lessons 🌹😊

[@aylamalcolm9035]

I just knitted a thing! I knit now ☺ thank you so much that was very helpful ☺

[@RedCardinalCrafts]

Yay!!! Good for you!! It's fun when you get the hang of it isn't it? Awesome!!

[@aylamalcolm9035]

It's always nice to learn something new ☺

[@yarnworksbylydianannen3396]

Thank you for the nice video I'm new on knitting needles I will be making them I have a lot cotton yarn

[@phyllisgrant5188]

I watch this video every single time I start then finish a dish clothe😂 and there has been time in between making them.

[@RedCardinalCrafts]

Me too! Lol

[@trishajones1874]

This was a neat little lesson.

[@RedCardinalCrafts]

Thank you! Thanks for watching.

[@suzy3489]

I am excited about you showing us how to make the baby blanket.....hope its soon! Where do I go to find it when its posted? I just found out another real special person I know is going to have a little boy so now I can do two!!! Hope I can catch on!! Thanks again for being so generous and sharing these things with us...........

[@MyLittlePinkCottage]

Hi Suzy! Not a problem. I will post the video on my craft channel. :-)

[@corlissyamasaki2329]

You cast on just like I did when I first learned to knit. All the other methods are so complicated!

[@phyllisgrant5188]

Excellent instructions, now I have a project for the weekend! Thanks for sharing ~Phyllis~

[@RedCardinalCrafts]

Thank you Phyllis. Have fun!

[@francesgreeley268]

yes and I use bamboo needles....just love them

[@jan96ken]

Just learned to knit and I was able to make this! Thanks much :)

[@loriadams1588]

This is my favorite dish cloth pattern.

[@ABok-pf9bz]

you are really good at explaining. thanks.

[@RockyTop-T]

Tanya, how could I turn that square shaped pattern into a rectangle shape using the same yarn over concept for the edge decoration? I am a new knitter! However, with your direction I purchased the materials and made this project with no problems. Apreciate your clear and understandable directions :)

[@karicoffey2743]

T Carr When you’re at the point that you don’t want it to continue to get wider, after the YO (yarn over) stitch, K2T (knit two together) (the stitch she shows to start the decrease area for the second half of the dishcloth). A YO is an increase in knitting, where a K2T is a decrease, so following one with another will keep the same amount of stitches on your needle, as well as keep the hole in the edge for decoration. When it’s long enough for your rectangle, continue with the pattern she shows for the second half (K, K2T, YO, K2T. Knit to end.) I know you asked 4 years ago, but hopefully someone finds this helpful!

[@soleil-cy9cn]

great lesson..i always wanted to do these..now i know how !!! thank you :-)

[@RedCardinalCrafts]

soleil 2208 You're welcome! Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!

[@TheMrpiggyboy]

[@valery9599]

I love it is so easy for me thank you so much👍💗

[@MyLittlePinkCottage]

Hi! Oh good I'm glad you liked the video! Happy knitting!

[@tinaurbenz30]

thank you! i finally go the yarn over!!!

[@twasilow]

Thank you so much! This was so easy to follow!

[@cindybarnes2543]

I did make a dishcloth, and my left index finger is soooo sore. I think I did it way to tight. I want to make more, but I need to heal first! lol

[@Shashaylah]

Thanks so much for this great tutorial.

[@liniwaskow321]

Excellent video - Thanks so much :)

[@kathybraune8228]

Thank you easy to follow for a new knitter

[@RedCardinalCrafts]

You're welcome! :-)

[@phil2u48]

I love bamboo needles; I bought almost every size from China.

[@pattiemazzone4732]

I agree very good teacher thanks again

[@sheila2590]

Love that its sooo easy! Say SLIP it off, not flip, ok? lol!

[@raylo1994]

Your video helped so much I've been making a blanket in this pattern and I couldn't remember how to finish it

[@MyLittlePinkCottage]

Awesome! That's great! Glad I could help. Take care

[@lindadavison209]

Great lesson. Thank You!

[@mrsteatimes9411]

Wondering would this pattern work on a baby blanket?

[@karicoffey2743]

MrsTeaTimes It absolutely would, as long as you have enough yarn, use a circular needle, and don’t mind a square baby blanket. This pattern, as is, will make a square unless it’s adjusted, which would be great for a floor blankie for playing or changing baby.

[@ronnaurban7435]

Was wondering why you cast on three at the beginning and casted off four at the end.

[@suzystout7948]

Excellent!

[@pattywykes5873]

Thanks for the great video! You sound Canadian!

[@MyLittlePinkCottage]

You're welcome. I am Canadian. From Nova Scotia originally.

[@biceberry2874]

Thanks for the yarn tip!!

[@joannejohnson2662]

excellent video...thanks so much....

[@lettyd3165]

Hi, like the border holes...where is the written pattern ??? I'm not on pc when I'm knitting & I've been knitting for just a while.

[@The1952trouble]

I'm trying g to learn the continental knitting. I do the English style but my hands get do tired. I'm struggling with Continental style but will keep practicing.

[@edarosepignati7022]

If I used the pattern but wanted 3 solid colors (colors of an Italian Flag), how would I make the 3 colors evenly? What row would I change the first color and second color onto the third color?

[@RedCardinalCrafts]

I think you would just divide the amount of rows by 3. I believe I did 42 rows so divided by 3 would be 14. So do 14 rows of each colour.

[@edarosepignati7022]

@@RedCardinalCrafts Thank you so much for your help, I will do that!

[@jackiebiggs8159]

can you use size 9 needle

[@yasmindesai3107]

Hi can a baby blanket be made in this pattern please and how many stitches thank you

Amazing, thank u very much!

[@gwenanderson96]

Thank you!!! This helped me a LOT!!

[@janeosullivan7027]

what ply do you use please

[@marys5009]

I have done 6 of these and have holes one one side but not the other. What am I doing wrong?

[@MyLittlePinkCottage]

Mary S Hmm, not sure. As long as you’re doing the yarn over it should be leaving holes.

[@bigslyrosie]

Your to cute gotta subscribe to your channel😄

[@lindseychaney9957]

Can I do this on circular needles?

[@Chrisnkittys2]

Lindsey Chaney Yes, I'm using them right now and they work perfectly.

[@joannejustesen9942]

Thank you!!!!

[@forgetthedustrhonda8622]

Hi - what is the finished size of the dishcloth please?

[@RedCardinalCrafts]

Oh gosh, I made this years ago. I want to say it was about 8” square.

[@forgetthedustrhonda8622]

Thanks so much - regards Rhonda

[@lauragliebe8632]

What happens if you forget to YO for one row

[@butterflybeatles]

Instead of "knitting" the first stitch always just pass it. It makes a neater edge.

[@visigoda]

You are also teaching increases as well on this tutorial. I just realized this tutorial is going over increases.

[@pattiemazzone4732]

thank you you cast on like I do

[@user-ut3ce2si2k]
