I needed a little break from my afghan today and I also needed a couple of dish cloths. So, with this thought in mind, I started digging through our downstairs hall closet looking for some cotton yarn. One of the instantly gratifying things in crochet is having yarn on hand to make what you want to make!
So I whipped up a couple of dish cloths......I'm calling it 29 Stitches......the number of stitches in the 1st row and throughout. It's a simple pattern for a very utilitarian item. But it was fun to make. So without further adieu, I give you....
29 Stitches
100% Cotton yarn - worsted weight (estimating 1.5 oz; I just used what I had on hand)
Size "H" hook
ch 30
- sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across, ch 2, turn. (29 stitches)
- sc in 1st sc, *sk 1 sc, (dc and sc) in next sc, repeat from * across, ch 2, turn.
- sc in 1st sc, *sk next dc, (dc and sc) in next sc, repeat from * across, ch 2, turn.
- Repeat row 3 until desired length. (Mine measures 8 1/2 inches.)
- sc evenly around cloth, (3 sc) in each corner, sl st to beg sc, ch 1, do not turn work.
- rev sc evenly around cloth, sl st to beg rev sc, fasten off.
- Weave in ends.
Joy in creativity!

ReplyDeleteVery nice Heather and congrats on your 1st written pattern:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Yvette! :-)

Hi Deb, thank you! The link for followers is all the way at the bottom....maybe I should move it to the side so it's easier to find. I'll check out your site. Thank you for your compliment and thank you for stopping in! :-)
ReplyDeleteOkay I found it! Thanks and I'm happy to follow you, thanks for stopping by mine too :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Heather for the pattern, I have added it to my ravelry queue :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the look of this pattern, and hope to hook it soon :)
I just love that and cant wait to make some of my own they would make wonderful gifts too I think, thanks so much for sharing and I loved the colors you used, have a great weekend :o)
ReplyDeleteHeather, I just love this. Thank you so much for sharing your pattern. Can't wait to make it, will let you know. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHeather,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your pattern. I can't wait to try it. I love the colors of your dishcloths--they look very "fallish". Off to read more on your blog. Take care.
Thank you all for your nice compliments! Hope you each have a wonderful Saturday! :-)
ReplyDeleteHeather, thank you for sharing your pattern. Your potholders look absolutely perfect in every stitch. Can acrylic yarn be used in place of the 100% cotton? I have so much more of it.
ReplyDeleteHi Bren: These are dishcloths, I use them for washing dishes as well as wiping down the stove and counter tops in the kitchen. Not sure you'd have the same absorbency with acrylic as with cotton. Hope that helps. Thank you for stopping by. :-)
ReplyDeleteHeather!! I didn't know you had a blog, did I?
ReplyDeleteI clicked on your name in someone's comments because I wanted to email you a link to a grocery bag pattern here: http://teacuplane-sandy.blogspot.com/2010/10/want-cute-grocery-bag.html
Don't know if you saw it or not, but I thought you might like another one to make for your mom.
Now I'm going to look through your stuff. I already saw the Fireside Afghan in pink and blue a minute ago...so pretty in those colors!
Hi Pammy Sue, I'll have to check out the link. Thank you for sending it to me and for the compliment on the Fireside afghan. Have a great day! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I'll have to make some of these for gifts! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by Eva! :-)
ReplyDeleteI just finished your cloth, and posted it on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you Clara! :-) And, thank you Thread-N-Stitches for making my dishcloth and your nice comments on your blog. You are very kind! Have a terrific day! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is my new favourite dishcloth pattern!! I love how it holds it shape!!
ReplyDeleteThank you DWaye for the nice compliment and thank you for stopping by my blog! I hope you have a nice evening and a great start to the week next week! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Heather, I just wanted to let you know that I made two of these yesterday. I love the pattern!! It is fun ans easy!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Tina! :-)
ReplyDeleteVery nice and quick. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteKnow what I love about this pattern? It's very easy to follow ... and the edges are nice and even.
ReplyDeleteMay I correct your statement "So without further adieu, I give you...." I think you wanted to say, "So without much further ado, I give you ...." "adieu" means goodbye in French, while "ado" means bother, fuss, concern.
Thank for the compliment on the dishcloth wwGINCHww. I only took two years of French in high school and that was a LONG time ago. :-) Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLove the dish cloths! Enjoyed learning the rev sc stitch too. Thank you so much for posting the "29 Stitches" dish cloth!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment, I'm glad you liked it. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi my name is Rachel and I have a quick question. What do the abbreviations sc,ch and sk mean? Thanks so much for posting this, I really like it!
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel, sc (single crochet), ch (chain) and sk (skip). Thank you for the compliment and I hope that helps. Have a great evening. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Heather. Great pattern! Was also wondering where I can find the pattern at the top of this page. The one with the tea pot...Green and yellow dish clothes? It looks a bit different than your pattern and has various stiches. I did make one of yours and it is one of my favs!
ReplyDeleteThanks
Joy

ReplyDeleteThanks for the great pattern. I'm a beginner and this worked up easy and fast.
ReplyDeleteI'm am also a beginner, and this was great for me...not to mention how pretty it turned out! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI made a couple of these and liked the pattern so much that i am now working an afghan using the same stitches
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say thanks for posting this pattern! It is so easy and the steps for the reverse SC was wonderful this was my first attempt at it and it turned out great!! Thanks again I will definitely be doing more of these :)
ReplyDeleteI really like this easy pattern. I like that stitches are close together which is important when washing dishes. I know I will use this pattern a lot as I am on my third dish cloth since a day ago
ReplyDeletethanks
Oh Im going to try this, thanks
ReplyDeleteI like this pattern and have already made a couple of cloths. The first came out really big (10 1/2 inches), so I modified the pattern and started with 19 chains (and used chain-less foundation beginning), and that cloth came out the perfect size for my needs. Easy, quick pattern.
ReplyDeleteHeather I love to knit & crochet. That all I do in my spear time, washcloths afghan,& other thing. I just love your washcloths, I hope you don't mind if I can crochet some. linaa
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. I hope you enjoy making them.
DeleteI wanted to ask you if I could make someof these to sell if I credit you for the design? These are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHi Tina, thank you for your nice comment. :-) I'm fine with that. Thank you, Heather
DeleteHi Heather~ Found your pattern through google searching. Teaching myself crochet...this dishcloth looks easy enough for me to try. Thanks! Like your style. :-)
