Double the Fun Dishcloths
This is an adaptation of the Ballband Dishcloth pattern. It’s a double-sided dishcloth that measures approximately 4×4″. It’s really durable but fits the size of my hand. It acts more like a sponge, which I like. Here’s how you make it:
Materials:
Some kind of cotton (Lily Sugar n’ Cream works well); two colors is recommended but you can knit everything with one color if you like.
Size 6 or 7 needles
Crochet hook (F)
FOR FIRST SIDE
Cast on 21 stitches.
Row 1: (Color A) Knit
Row 2: Purl
Row 3: (Color B) K4 Slip 1*K5 Slip 1* Continue between *across to last 4 stitches, K4
Row 4: (Color B) K4 YF Slip 1 YB *K5 YF Slip 1 YB* Continue between * across to last 4 stitches, K4
Row 5: (Color B) P4 YB Slip 1 YF *P5 YB Slip 1 YF* Continue between * across to last 4 stitches, P4
Row 6: (Color B) Repeat Row 4
Row 7: (Color A) Knit
Row 8: (Color A) Purl
Row 9: (Color B) K1 Slip 1 *K5 Slip 1* Continue between * across to 1 stitch, K1
Row 10: (Color B) K1 YF Slip 1 YB *K5 YF Slip 1 YB* Continue between *across to 1 stitch, K1
Row 11: (Color B) P1 YB Slip 1 YF *P5 YB Slip 1 YF* Continue between * across to 1 stitch, P1
Row 12: (Color B) Repeat Row 10
Repeat twelve rows once.
Repeat rows 1-8.
Bind off loosely.
FOR SECOND SIDE
Repeat entire process to make the other side.
FINISHING
Sew in any ends of the Color B. Using Color A, sew the bind off edge of the first side to the cast on edge of the second side. Repeat for the other two edges. Sew in any remaining ends. With Color A, sc along the other sides, connecting the first and second sides to continue the “edging” around the cloth and to close up inside. Repeat on the other side. Sew in ends. Start scrubbing.
Love this pattern it's great. Thanks for posting it!
