It has been a while. Several posts in the pipeline, itching to be published. I will have to jump into those another time. As time is short presently. However, I wanted to share a pattern I've always been meaning to publish, for the perfect dishcloth. Or at least I think it is.
I was asked to share my pattern, by some ladies who wanted to try making some for themselves.
It's based on the very popular Waffle-weave Dishcloth. Only I found the 8 ply yarn too heavy when wet and oversized to comfortably use. It's a brilliant pattern otherwise, and my absolute favourite!
So I tweaked this version to be smaller, and employs 4 ply yarn instead. Using the same sized needles of the original pattern, means you get a slightly more open weave. So it dries quicker. I tend to be a tight knitter anyway, so it works perfectly for me.
Here is my variation of the very popular Waffle-weave Dishcloth. If you want to print a copy, click the arrow - top right corner. It will open a new window and allow download or print options.

Chris, your dishcloths are just lovely. I am sure your pattern will be much appreciated. Chel
ReplyDeleteThanks Chel. I enjoy knitting them because they're not that hard. 😊 Very therapeutic. I know the ladies in our group feel the same way about knitting too. It's chill time.
DeleteChris! I'm always glad to see a post from you! I will definitely be trying this. Useful quick knitting projects are always welcome.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you Leigh. I'm always thinking what you're doing on your property in the US, when I don't have time to visit your blog in person. I know you and Dan will be making progress on something new! This is definitely a quick project, and great practice for alternating between Knit and Purl stitches. 🙂
DeleteLovely dishcloths! Such a clear pattern too. I confess to having rather a backlog of partially finished posts behind the scenes too. Perhaps we will both crank them out over winter! Xx
ReplyDeleteHi Emma, great to see you, and thanks. I like a good, simple pattern - though I only tweaked someone else's. But I feel the backlog shuffle, with you. It goes something like, one-step...two-step...publish? Wait!! I have to finish that thought/thing, before I put it out there. Thanks for making me feel better. 😅
