Dish cloths/wash cloths seemed like a simple and usable way to practice, so I've tried several patterns. The first few had some pattern issues. Actually, they had some issues with my ability to follow the pattern.
Eventually I struck on this diagonal pattern that is so easy to do, even I can't mess it up (at least not much).
My favorite design so far is this lattice pattern. It makes a thicker, textured cloth that is better for scrubbing.
The original pattern includes a crocheted picot edge that gives the cloths a fancier look, but this old dog can only handle one new trick at a time.

Nice work, Tami!!! Congrats, you are a knitter now! Way to go on sticking with it. I'm pretty sure I've done the lattice one before. No picot edge, though. I've had a look at the link and the crochet edge does add a finished look. Maybe one day I'll try it. ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Good for you!! They look really nice!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, I just learned this past year. I like these patterns. I will try them.
ReplyDeleteAll of these patterns and colors are adorable. Glad you are having fun. But why scrub when you can knit? I do not think I would ever learn which pattern scrubs better.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Tami. you are doing wonderfully. That diagonal pattern is a great one to start with.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with Needlework Tuesday.
