New dishcloth designs...(pattern link added)

[Krakovianka]

You can now find the instructions for making this here.

 

While working on dishcloth(s) for the dishcloth swap, trying to make the perfect one for my partner, I ended up "inventing" 4 new dishcloth patterns (with obvious similarities).

 

The first one is a basic corner to corner pattern, with a nice stretchy border, all sc so it is light, and without holes. The second (psychedelic) one is similar, but the second half is worked at 90 degree angles to the first half--join as you go, no sewing.

 

You could figure out how to make them just by looking at the them, right? If anyone would like the instructions written up, I will do it and make them available. (Neither of these is the dishcloth for my partner, though!--that's still a surprise.)

My ami swap partner likes dishclothes so I made her a couple. Now I'm hooked! No pun intended!

They are both really cute!! All this swapping sure puts you in the mood to keep making those dishcloths!!! I'e branched out to making some potholders and kitchen gift sets for a wedding.

Those are lovely. They look nice and light and stretchy.

I would love to have the pattern, if you get a chance to write it up, and also to know what type of yarn or thread you used.

Your work is always so gorgeous, no matter what you make.

Nice work, Karen! I like the turns you took with the design of the psychedelic dishcloth. Thank you for sharing!

[beth eathorne]

i would like the pattern to do these...if you need someone to test for you let me know.

Very pretty! I love doing dishcloths so am always looking for different patterns.

[RecycleCindy]

Karen,

Both of those dishcloths are very nice and I really like the stitching you used on the diagonal one. I'd love to have the pattern too.

[crochetgal]

Pretty! I love dishcloths!

[mclendon1]

I'd like the corner to corner pattern plz.

[Krakovianka]

Glad you like them! The stitch pattern is just sc in back loops only--like ribbing. It makes a light, stretchy fabric, though, if you don't use too small a hook. I will write up the directions soon and make them (freely) available.

[DesertCrocheter]

Very nice, Krakovianka. How in the world did you manage to keep your diagonal one from getting all lumpy and lopsided? Every time I try to make a diagonal anything, it comes out weird. Your instructions for that would be fabulous. Patty

I like them! I really like the second one with the three sections.

[Monique39]

Very nice!

[pineapplequeen]

[raelynn]

I would love to have the pattern. My favorite is the second one with 3 colors

[EMedley]

Id love the corner to corner also! Im too tired to try to figure it out on my own Thanks!

[EMedley]

When did you want this "tested" by? I'll do my best to try it out today, child permitting of course

[Krakovianka]

There's no hurry. I haven't even decided where I want to post the pattern yet...

[Tampa Doll]

oh how pretty.

[teakaycee]

TOO COOL

I learned how to knit and crochet by first making dishcloths. I loved the colors the cotton yarn came in and the dishcloths were small projects that still introduced me to new stitches and techniques.

I've never actually used any of the dishcloths that I've made though, they're all just sitting in a bin under my bed.

 

I love your tri color dishcloth though, you could make a whole kitchen set like that with a pot holder and place mats!

[Krakovianka]

I posted instructions for the 3-color dishcloth here.

 

For some reason the photo doesn't show up for me with that link, although it is there if you load the whole blog. I'm going to have to tweak it--which means I'm going to have to learn how to use it.
