If you are a beginning knitter, have you ever wondered how to make one of these Diagonal Knitted Dishcloths? I did, ever since receiving one, as part of a birthday gift bundle, years ago from a ladies group. I looked at the stitches and and decided to find a pattern, so I could learn to make more of these. After finding a pattern on Pinterest, linked to Ravelry, that worked for me, I made this one. The original author of this pattern is Jane Lake, to whom I owe my thanks for making it available to use and learn.
This pattern that I used is fairly easy to follow. Being a newbie, I followed the instructions, line by line, very carefully; frogging it twice. On the third time, I finished it. After all, this this was my first time, with this pattern, and learning a new knitting skill. Since the HR lady at my workplace liked my dishcloth project so much, I sold it to her for a few bucks.
If you want to know what yarn I used, it’s the Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Yarn in “Green Dream.” This yarn is a little harder to find, so look online on Amazon or the Bernat website. An advisory: this specific color way is not always available on Amazon; you can use whatever colors you want, especially if you aren’t fond of the green-yellow-white color scheme. Here is a substitute that is less intense, and contains more blue: Country Stripes. In my mind, these greens were perfect for Spring. Everything was in renewal: fresh and bright. If you want to stretch yourself a bit as a knitter, I recommend making this type of dishcloth. I enjoyed learning how to knit this one.
