Hello and welcome back to my blog!  Today I am sharing a new dishcloth pattern with you – the Beach House Knitted Dishcloth.  This pattern is great for both complete beginners as well as seasoned knitters looking for a quick and easy project!

Yarn

If you’ve been around my blog for a little while you might have noticed that I love Lily Sugar’n Cream yarn!  And honestly, how could I not!?  Its super affordable, comes in SO many colors, and can be easily found at most major craft stores.  For this reason it is my absolute go-to for dishcloth, washcloth and bag patterns.  (I am not sponsored, just love it that much!)

This yarn is both durable and absorbent which is perfect for scrubbing dishes and soaking up excess water.  For this project I wanted to make something that was both quick to make and super colorful so I grabbed for my favorites from the brand – Tea Rose, Beach Glass, and Hot Green.

The Stitch

This dishcloth is worked up in garter stitch.  Garter stitch is formed when the knit stitch is worked on both the front and back of a knitting piece.  The fabric formed is both dense, stretchy and squishy, making it ideal for items like dishcloths, blankets, shawls and so much more!  Because working garter stitch only requires the knowledge of how to complete the knit stitch, it is great for beginners and quick projects that you can pretty much mindlessly work.  The garter stitch was the first stitch I learned many years ago and is still one of my absolute favorites!

Video Tutorial
