These are couple of my favorite dish clothes patterns to make. One is crochet (single crochet or double) and the other is knitted. Please enjoy! (Thanks Phyllis) |
Crochet: Use size g or j hook. Chain 48 chains loosely. = smaller version Chain 62 chains loosely. = larger version DOUBLE CROCHETED VERSION Row 1: Double crochet in the 6th chain from hook. *Chain 1, skip next chain, double crochet in next chain. Repeat from * across. Row 2: Chain 4, (counts as 1st double crochet plus chain1) turn. Working in front loops only. Double crochet in next dc. *Chain 1, dc in next dc. Repeat from * across. Repeat row 2 until dishcloth measures about 10 inches. Then Finish off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SINGLE CROCHETED VERSION Chain 47 stitches loosely. (10 x 10") Row 1: In the 4th chain from hook, sc, chain 1, skip 1 ch, sc. Repeat across. Row 2: Chain 2, *sc in front loop in chain 1 sp, chain 1. Repeat from * across. (Will make like a ridge design.) Row 3: In last sc, chain 1, turn and sc in top chain in chain 2 sp. chain 2, sc in top loop of chain 1sp, ch 1. Repeat across. Repeat rows 2 and 3 until measures 10". About 34-35 rows. [ I haven't tried this version, so I don't know how acurate it is.] |
Knitted Dish Clothes: Use size 8 or 9 knitting needles. Row 1: Cast on 4 sts. Pattern: k2, yo, k to the end. Repeat until 43 sts on needle. Then: k1, k2 tog, yo, k2 tog, knit to end. Repeat until you have 3 sts. Bind off. [This is my favorite, I use this pattern all the time. My mom and sisters always want these for Christmas.] |
