Learn a New Stitch with 6 Easy Knitted Dishcloth Patterns

March 22, 2014 by AllFreeKnitting

Although it was very long ago, I still remember the frustration I felt as a beginning knitter. I was so excited to be able to knit as quickly as my mom could. She made it look so easy and effortless with her Learn a New Stitch With 6 Easy Knitted Dishcloth Patternsclick-clacking needles and flying fingers moving gracefully through colorful yarn. I was young and didn’t have that much patience, but thankfully my mom did. She taught me to knit the same way she did – with knitted dishcloth patterns. Why knitted dishcloth patterns? Well, they’re perfect for beginning knitters for a number of reasons. First of all, a knitted dishcloth is the perfect size to get the hang of a certain kind of stitch, whether it’s garter, stockinette, or whichever other motif you’re trying to master. Secondly, a knitted dishcloth pattern teaches the importance of tidy knitting. It offers beginning knitters the chance to learn the fundamentals of knitting before they move on to more complicated projects. As knitting designer Staci Perry from Very Pink says, “For knitters, knitting a dishcloth is similar to a chef cooking a perfect egg. It is a chance to really focus on basic skills and do them well. In knitting, that means beautiful stitches, even edge tension, and tidy finishing work.”

So, whether you’re just starting out or want to brush up on some knitting basics, there’s a knitted dishcloth pattern in this list that’s perfect for you.
