Thursday’s Dishcloth is—not full of holes. I guess. None of these have been lace motifs, really, though.

This is a dishcloth project, but it brings the novelty of mitered squares to break up the usual approach into little bits. Exposed faux-seams and a neat edge also liven it up a bit. Knit Thursday’s along with other Summer Kitchen 2023 projects for a pretty decently coherent set!

This .PDF will go live first on the new Patreon page! It will be available here for a small fee as a standalone download a little later. If you happen to like the subscription model, please do have a look at what I’m working on over there as well—currently, $6 gets you a handful of .PDFs in a selection that will change slightly every month, plus additional content. I’ve realized that I really enjoy this type of subscription from the audience perspective, and that’s gotten me over a lot of my hesitation about it from the creative/production side. At this point, I’m pretty excited about the kind of new projects this could open up.

(This is still a soft launch, though. No one looks at dishcloth patterns.)

Materials

  • About 100 yds of sportweight, non-mercerized cotton, such as Knitpicks Organic Cotton Sport
  • 1 48” circular needle in US5/3.75mm, or size needed for gauge.
  • Tapestry needle
  • Removable stitch markers
  • Optional: 16-24” circular needle, to avoid doing the in-the-round part of the pattern as a magic loop

Gauge:
Gauge is 9 sts and 20 rows over 2”/5cm of garter stitch, worked flat and blocked.

Measurements:
As shown, this cloth measures about 10.5”/27cm square.

Photo Notes:
There will be some illustrative photos in the .PDF that show a cloth knit with more distinctive squares. I’m using smaller needles for that one, and working at a tighter gauge, so please don’t be thrown off by those details. They’re not too relevant to the project.
