Basketweave Dishcloth Pattern
November 19, 2008|Comments (9)
So easy a caveman could do it.
MATERIALS:
- 100% Cotton Worsted Weight Yarn:
- 120 yards
- knitting needles (I used 2.25 mm - 40.5 cm, 1 US - 16 in circular)
DIRECTIONS:
Cast on 40 sts.
- ROW 1-6: Knit all stitches
- ROWS 7-12: K4, (P4, K4 four times) K4
- ROWS 13-19: K4, (K4, P4 four times) K4
- REPEAT until you almost have a square dishcloth
- Now, KNIT six rows
- Bind off all sts.
Your dishcloth should be square with a knitted border that goes all the way around and has a basketweave center.

now i just need to learn how to knit…
Caveman here…I have been trying to learn to knit. I have knitted a few things on a loom and am trying to get better at regulat needle knitting. I think this might be right up my alley…It’s too cold outside to do anythign else anyhow! Thanks for the info!
Ok, I’m dumber than a caveman. Sadly, I’m ok with that! ;o)
Oy. It’s knitted.
Oh how I wish I knew how to knit.
We have a family member who gives us new dishcloths that she knits every year for Christmas! The girls steal them daily for use as blankets for their stuffed animals and dolls, so it’s a good thing we’re about to get our next allotment in just, what is it now, about six weeks?
That’s my problem, I am not a caveman;-).
I am going to give this a try. I like how it looks.
For rows 1-6 you mean knit all stitches, not K4, right?
