What nana wouldn’t be complete without knitting at least one dishcloth in her life.
I am a member of a New Zealand swap group that swaps wool every second month and then something small on the alternate months. Last month we were asked to make our swap partner a dishcloth. I had never made a dishcloth before so I had a lot of fun searching Ravelry for just the right pattern and then choosing just the right colour cotton to use. I love cables and this particular one was fun and interesting.

Wow! That’s the most beautiful cable pattern I’ve ever seen! Love the color too. I don’t think I could bring myself to actually use it to wash anything.
🙂 I hope the swap recipient is using it.
Wow that is so pretty. I’m sure the person who receives this dishcloth will appreciate the time and effort put into it
Thank you. I love using the one she sent me too.
So pretty – what a great color! I made a scarf using a similar pattern, and I love it.
The cable does need concentration doesn’t or you find one going the wrong way! I only did that once and luckily noticed it straight away 🙂
It would make such a pretty scarf.
What a beautiful pattern, I agree with vuchickens it would be hard to use that to wash anything it’s so pretty to look at, I’m about to try my first cable stitches on my hubbies jumper and you’ve given me inspiration there thank you 🙂
🙂
You’re very welcome. Good luck with your first cables. They are really fun.
Hehe, I laughed at your opening sentence.
Unfortunately it is true.
I love this pattern. Ive made this dishcloth in the exact same color, but with acrylic yarn, just to see if i could make it. Even my couch had the same pattern as the background. I’m really hoping someone didn’t steal my pic. Lol Kinda crazy. But it was a fun and quick project once you get the hang of the stitches. Thanks for sharing this great pattern! 🙂
LOL
You’re very welcome. I have to make a couple of dishcloths for a knitting swap next month. I’ll have to have another trawl through the free dishcloth patterns.
My question deals with the abbreviations. I read through them and understand them. However, in the pattern on the “next row”, the design ends with “M1”. What on earth does “M” stand for? I’d like to make this, but I need to know about that “M” first!
Thanks.

It means Make 1. It is picking up the bar between 2 stitches and knitting it to increase a stitch.
