What Makes a good knitted or crocheted dishcloth?
A good dishcloth is highly absorbent , quick to dry, durable and resistant to odors. 100% cotton fiber is preferred fiber to use. with 100% cotton or cellulose being the top materials. It should be textured enough to scrub food, yet soft enough not to scratch, and machine-washable for easy sanitation. The best dishcloths are sustainable, long-lasting, and hold up well to heat.
- great to try out new patterns
- make good gifts
- try new yarns
- can be laundered quickly
- learn new techniques
- Practice pieces
My favorite dishcloth designer is # Kitchen Sink Shop on Instagram.
Not the creator of this pattern but wish I had been!
Everyone should knit at least one of "Grandma's favorite" cloths!
CO 3 sts
- Knit one row
- K1, Kfb, K1 (4sts)
- Start Increasing:
*K2, Yo, Knit to end of row.* Repeat between ** until you have 46sts on your needles.
- Now the tiny short row:

Take up those needles and see what you can create in a matter of minutes. And your dishes will love you!
These can also be used as face cloths!
