The problem with kitchen supplies that you find in a store is that it always seems like everyone else in the seems to have bought the exact same item. How do you avoid that feeling of Deja vu when you see your friends' kitchens with the same aprons & dishcloths?
When you knit your own dishcloth or apron, you are guaranteed a unique and special item.
Knitted kitchen décor is also a wonderful way to introduce some cosiness into an otherwise cold, and unimaginative area. If you've been looking to make your kitchen a bit homier, these free knitting patterns are your next step.
- Nana's Favourite Dishcloth Pattern is a simple kitchen dishcloth with an easy-to-memorize repeat that knitters of any skill level can work up.
Knitted dishcloth patterns like these are perfect for scrubbing off dishes because the purl bumps on both sides which allow for plenty of grabbing, friction and scrubbing of dirty plates and cookware.
The best yarn to use for this knit dishcloth pattern is a cotton, since it easily absorbs water and is washable, so you can use it again and again. Since this kitchen dishcloth is so versatile, you could knit up a bunch of these in the colours of your kitchen or even your favourite colours!
