I am trying to find the correct pattern for a knitted dishcloth that has small holes around the edges. I can get the first half with k2 yo knit rest of row, but when I come to the half way mark and try to follow the directions I have, I am unable to decrease properly and the cloth takes on a really wierd shape. Can someone give me the correct directions? Thanks

Hi Nancy,
See my response above..where it states:
A few years ago, I adapted the dishcloth pattern. On the first half I stitch into the back of the 3rd stitch of every row to increase (this is to replace the K2together, Yarn over and K2 together ) for the 2nd half of the dishcloth I knit the 3 and 4th stitches together.

I like this much better as you don’t get the holes around the edge of the cloths.

Try it you might like it.

i am wondering if you can tell me how to knit this pattern without the holes and also make the edges real neat. I use this all the time and love it but would like something a little different. I use to have a pattern for one without the holes and it came out really nice.
thank you

Hi Carole
Response to your request of August 21st.

Hi,

Can you use anything other than cotton for the dishcloths? If not, why?
Thanks. I bought yarn thinking it was cotton and once I opened it I found out that it wasn’t.

Hi,

Sometimes the problem is with the ending of the square. It is something with I still struggle at times.
My solution is to bind off when there are 3 or 4 stitches left on the needle and then bind off.

I knit the “Grandmother’s Favorite” dishcloth for the first time and discovered that my second half ends up sort of stretched out and not quite square. I suspect it it my K2Tog that is causing the problem. Is there another, tighter way to decrease? Perhaps in the middle of the project rather than at the edges? I am a beginning knitter and am hoping to make a bunch of dishcloths for people for Christmas gifts. This is an easy pattern, but if the finished product doesn’t look neat then I don’t want to use it …

Thanks!!

I’ve made many dishcloths using the “Grandmother’s Favorite” pattern ( as seen on this website: http://www.groupepp.com/dishbout/kpatterns/grfavorite.html ) I’m looking for a pattern for a hanging kitchen towel and can’t find mine. It starts the same way as the “Grandmother’s Favorite Pattern and then is made into a hanging kitchen towel.
Does anyone have this pattern????

Does any one have a pattern for the crocheted border on these dishcloths? They all seem to have some sort of edging but no pattern seems to include the edging.
Can you help?

Thanks

This pattern is typically called the Ballband Pattern because it is most commonly found on the band of a ball of Peaches & Creme worsted wt. cotton yarn. You can find the pattern on the Pisgah Yarn and Dyeing Co. website here: Ballband Dishcloth The time it takes to make varies depending on the person. I can usually make one in about two or three hours with some interruptions.

I LOVE the purple and white woven pattern that you have pictured in the header of your blog (on right). What is this pattern called and do you have the instructions for how to make this pattern?

Thank!
