How to Knit A Dishcloth Another fiber possibility that works well is polyester! However, not just any polyester or nylon. If you want to use this fiber, make sure you get a scrubby yarn that is specifically designed for dishcloths. Second, if you are having trouble with getting an even number of stitches in each row – use stitch markers! I don’t have time to count the stitches in each row and that just isn’t fun to do. Mark the first and last stitch of each row with a stitch marker or piece of yarn. That way you will not miss a stitch or accidentally add any extra. Bonus Tip This is a great pattern for a beginner knitter to learn the diagnonal pattern. I’m an experienced knitter and made a baby blankets using a similar pattern. They were a hit and I even won a ribbon at a fair. I had some left over cotton crochet yarn and made wash cloths. Love them. For dishcloths, using cotton yarn is (dare I say it..) a MUST. It is just so much better for cleaning, washing dishes, using as hot pads, etc. If you use acrylic yarn, you will basically have a wet, sopping pile of yarn.

And if it couldn’t absorb water, how could it be used as a dishcloth? Disappointed, I put the project away. Can you use any yarn for dishcloths? Just make sure you stay away from other yarns with these fibers that aren’t designed for this purpose. For example, if you have a hank of hand-dyed yarn that is 25% nylon, that doesn’t mean you should use it for a dishcloth! I guarantee you that wouldn’t work well. Acrylic Why? Well, cotton matches all of the first 3 characteristics we talked about above. It is very durable. Dishcloths made from cotton hold up for a long time, despite lots of everyday use.

Cottons that are minimally processed will usually be more absorbent. This is actually where the debate on mercerized or unmercerized comes into play. Unmercerized cotton will be more absorbent, while mercerized will be stronger. You’ll have to decide for yourself what you prefer. I don’t think any crocheter or knitter would want to make a dishcloth that only lasted a few weeks! 2. Absorbency

Here it is, folks, the MOST important thing about dishcloth yarn: the fiber content. This means, the materials that the yarn is made out of. If it is made from certain fibers, your dishcloth will function beautifully…or vice versa. So let’s take a look at some common fiber contents that WILL work and some that WON’T work. Cotton

I prefer my dishcloths on the smaller side if I’m using them to wash dishes or if I’m using them as washcloths to clean my face or for the shower. There are a lot of crochet dishcloth patterns out there. I’ve been designing quite a few myself (like this diagonal dishcloth!) but I wanted to do something a bit more unique. Working in the round is really not too hard, and this dishcloth is a great place to begin if you’re just getting started with this technique.
