Soft and practical, our Big Mouth Dishtowel features a handy built-in loop for convenient hanging, not to mention an easy 2-stitch repeat that knits up in a flash.

Our Big Mouth Dishtowel features a super memorizable 2-stitch repeat that goes over one row, followed by three rows of garter stitch to create a bumpy texture perfect for cleaning up kitchen spills. This borderless towel has a lovely drape and a convenient, easy Big Mouth to loop over a cabinet handle or hang on a hook. Each side has its own unique, gorgeous texture as well.

Size: The size is totally customizable. You have options to make it wider and longer. As written, the pattern measures about 14” long and 10” across, but again, the size is really up to you.

Gauge: The gauge is not super important for this pattern unless you want a very specific size. If so, swatch your work in pattern and base your measurements off the swatch.

Materials Needed: You will need size 8 needles and about 160 yards of cotton yarn. You can make this dishtowel with one skein of Dishie or Sugar ‘n’ Cream.

Pattern Stitches: The pattern is made by slipping stitches purl-wise. The Big Mouth calls for making 1 stitch using the backwards loop method. I’ve included a step-by-step tutorial on that stitch including images!
