Textured C2C Square & Dishcloth

 The Textured C2C Square & Dishcloth was inspired by my Birthday Sorbet Baby Blanket design. It’s such a fun and easy pattern to work with that I thought a smaller version would be perfect for the Unraveled Mitten 2023 Blanket CAL. It offers a lot of texture and works up quickly. If you’d like to make the dishcloth, simply follow the pattern, but use the smaller hook and lighter, cotton yarn. My testers rated this pattern as “Easy”, making it the perfect project to make as you watch your favorite program or listen to your favorite podcast.  On a side note, I want to extend a big “Thank You!” to all of my testers that helped with this design!

The 2023 Stash-busting Afghan Mystery Crochet Along with Unraveled Mitten is a year-long crochet along that involves 20 different squares. Each square is 12″ x 12″ and is designed by a different participating designer. The squares are released every other week throughout 2023, with the last square being released in October (giving you plenty of time to finish your blanket to gift it!). To see the other blocks that have been released (there are some amazing blocks – you will want to check them out!), please visit: https://theunraveledmitten.com/2023/01/05/2023-stash-busting-crochet-along/

Cables & Lace Dishcloth

The Cables & Lace Dishcloth came to be when I was learning some Japanese knitting stitches. This particular stitch really called out to me. This wonderful stitch requires some concentration, but is not nearly as difficult as it looks.

The yarn used is Cottonsoft  DK from King Cole. It’s a lovely 100% cotton yarn that is a light #3 / DK weight yarn. It is wonderful to work with & you can make a couple dishcloths with only one skein!

I’d like to extend a huge “Thank you” to my wonderful testers that helped me to finalize this pattern. To see their beautiful dishcloths, check out their projects linked in Ravelry.

Bluebells Dishcloth

The Bluebells Dishcloth is a very quick and easy knit that has a wonderful stitch detail. If you haven’t knit cables before, this is a great way to get introduced to them. It uses only one cable stitch and the rest of the stitches are simple knit and purl. The yarn used in this project is the King Cole Cottonsmooth DK. It’s 100% Mercerized Cotton and is oh-so-amazing to work with! It’s a dk weight, so it doesn’t make a bulky dishcloth, making it easy to get into those delicate dishes.

Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. That means that I may receive compensation when you purchase through my links at no additional cost to you. I am a King Cole Brand Ambassador and this post is part of our ongoing collaboration.

I named this pattern the Bluebells Dishcloth because the stitch reminds me of Bluebell flowers. The stitch pattern was found in a Japanese knitting book and it didn’t have a name to it, so that’s what I came up with. I do hope you enjoy working on this dishcloth as much as I enjoyed designing it.

Ruching Block 2

Pic of knitted Ruching Block 2 from Handmade by Stacy J

This is the knitting pattern for the Ruching block 2. These squares can be used as practice blocks or as an addition to a blanket that uses squares. Or, extend the length to make a scarf or use cotton yarn and create a dishcloth – the options are endless!

This square offers straighter edges and lays flatter then the Ruching Block 1. The ruching of this stitch pattern is created by doubling the amount of stitches in indicated rows by using a smaller needle. The ruching is then brought together by reducing the amount of stitches and then switching to larger needles.

Notes:

To obtain a cleaner edge, slip the first stitch purl wise with the yarn in front

This block is easily adaptable to any size, as the stitch pattern works in multiples of 1.

Lattice Cable Dishcloth

I designed the Lattice Cable Washcloth pattern for part 6 of the “Learn to Knit” series so that you can try cabling after learning the basics. The Lattice Cable Washcloth is a perfect pattern for the ambitious beginner that wants to try their hand at cabling on a small, as well as useful project. It uses only Knit and Purl, as well as cabling to create a beautiful pattern. Below you will find the written directions and a chart, as well as a video tutorial.

Difficulty level:

As the final project for the Learn to Knit series, this can be made by the ambitious beginner, as long as your comfortable with knit & purl, you should have no problems catching on.
