Why knit washcloths

Reply 1 year ago. Hi, I've posted the video! Question 1 year ago on Introduction. All the directions are in Step 2, but once it is as wide as you want it you just repeat this row until you reach the end: K1, k2tog, yo, k2tog, knit to end.

Question 1 year ago on Step 3. I so excited to make these! I'm a total beginner in knitting so I know nothing! I really liked the 3 above, but could you tell me what weight yarn you used and what size needles?

I did find medium weight 4 that I could easily pick up in town, but what size needles would I use to get the tight stitches? It's a 2. Would 1 ball suffice for 1 cloth? Many thanks and many thanks for posting! I used size 7 needles but I already knit pretty tight.

It really depends how tight you knit. You can always start with one set and if you don't like the tightness try a smaller set. And the cotton yarn I used was also medium weight 4.

If you are looking into purchasing needles and you are really into knitting, I recommend getting a kit so you have a variety of sizes. These are so fun and useful to make! Thanks, Penolopy! Your pattern is easy to follow and has helpful pictures! Reply 2 years ago. More by the author:. About: Community Manager of Instructables - I am powered by rainbow and sugar!

I remember visiting my son when he was living in this swank apartment with others for a while and it had the most ditzy tiny sink with no draining board area so water used to go everywhere. I think you were supposed to eat out all the time. I love using the dishcloths that I knit. They scrub better without scrathing off the finish and I just through them in the hot water wash with my dish towels and bathroom towels. Now I put tops on dish towels and make a couple cloths and there is a small wedding shower gift.

I really like my knitted dishcloths too. They are so pretty! So far I only have two, but when I get my other projects done, I plan on knitting up a bunch and trashing my old, non-knitted ones. I have a rule in our house that we use the dishcloth for one day, and then it goes into the laundry. Same goes for dish towels. The whole bacteria thing makes me :ick:.

Thanks ladies. Well, something I may try. Great when you move and you want to store various small objects and so on. Well that was sort of my exact question.
