I am by no means a knitter, but I really, really love the knitted dishcloths for wiping my counters everyday. So with a lot of help from you tube, I learned to make them myself.
If you haven't used them yourself, you really should. Funny story, I was given a set when we got married, and we thought they were hot pads...my husband and I always complained that they were the worst hot pads in the world (and they are). Then a friend told me they were dishcloths (about 12 years later)...you get them wet, ring them out, and wipe up messes... and once I used them I didn't want to use anything else.
I am in the process of replacing my old worn out ones, and I love them all over again.
Stats:
Materials: 100% cotton yarn. worsted weight. I like sugar 'n cream, peaches and cream, bernat. You can find them at JoAnn or Walmart.
Pattern/Tutorial: Pink Knits
I knit a bunch (20 or so) of these this winter and gave some away to friends and family but kept a big stack for myself. They are the best!
ReplyDeleteI agree, they are great dishcloths. When I'm at someone else's place and wiping up messes with their ordinary dishcloth, it feels so inefficient. Once you use a hand knitted dishcloth, there is no turning back.
