A Basic Knitted Dishcloth
I love my knitted dishcloths. They are incredibly tough on stubborn kitchen "gunk" yet gentle on my good china and glassware. They are also very therapeutic to knit, easy too. I use cotton or bamboo to knit my dishcloths, which may seem expensive. The advantage is that they outlast bought sponges, can be bleached (if necessary), stand up to prolonged use and once they've been used in the kitchen and passed on to the laundry and bathroom they are put in the garage to use on the cars, where they are the best thing for scrubbing bugs off the duco without chemicals or damaging the paintwork.
Even a beginner can knit a dishcloth, this basic pattern is in simple garter stitch and can be finished in one or two nights in front of the television.
You will need:
3.75mm knitting needles
1 ball 8 ply crochet cotton
Pattern:
Cast on 44 stitches.
First row: Slip first stitch, knit to end. Turn.
Second row: Slip first stitch, knit to end. Turn.
Repeat these two rows another 42 times, making 88 rows in total. Cast off. Weave ends in.
