The Best Knit Dishcloth Patterns
Knitting isn’t just for grandma anymore. At Wandering Hoof Ranch I want to help you learn how to knit practical products to provide for your home and family so you can scratch items off your shopping list.
Knit dishcloths are often thought of as a creative project that your grandmother did in her rocking chair, but as we move towards wanting to lead a simpler happy life it’s time to learn from the master!
Knitting is a calming and productive creative outlet that is perfect for traveling and completing on the couch. It’s my favourite hobby to do with our busy homesteading lifestyle and while chasing two toddler boys around.
From knitting in the boat, on hunting road trips and while sitting on a lawn chair around the campfire knitting dishcloths has become my way of fitting in self care as a mom.
But as a beginner knitter where do you start? How can you get to the point of knitting calming and collectively without a pattern to follow and a final product that’s practical?
In this round up I’m sharing with you my top five dishcloth patterns that I’ve memorized by heart and love to knit because I know that you too can easily memorize and master them.
For these patterns you’ll need to know the following knitting skills;
How to cast on
How to knit
How to purl
How to cast off
Optional – How to increase and decrease stitches
