Cloth of the month | March 2009

March 4, 2009 in Cloth of the Month, free patterns, knitted dishcloths by Sew Funky | 1 comment

I decided to deviate from my usual circular short row cloths this month, and I’ve made a octagonal cloth.  It is similar to the average granny cloth to knit up.  Very easy!
March Cloth

Octagonal Cloth

I used a bamboo yarn that I picked up from Spotlight…   It knits up looking like army camo!  I used 4mm needles.

CO 21 sts.
*Knit one row.
then; increase at each end of the next row, by knitting into the front and back of first and last stitches.*
Repeat until you have 45 stitches on your needles.
Knit 30 rows without increasing or decreasing.
*then; decrease at each end of row, by knitting two stitches together.
Next row; knit row.*
Repeat until you have 21 stitches on your needles.
Bind off and sew in the ends.

This Pattern makes a small cloth suitable for using as a baby washcloth, especially if knitted in a bamboo/cotton yarn.

Row 1 & all odd stitches: K until last 3 stitches, P2, K1.

Then sew up the circle in the middle, sew in the loose threads and you’re done!

Cloth of the month | January 2009 Revisited

January 7, 2009 in Cloth of the Month, free patterns, knitted dishcloths, knitting by Sew Funky | No comments

I decided to try making the january cloth a little different by using two different coloured yarns. It turned out awesomely, and if you want to recreate one for yourself all you need to do is knit two rows with one colour, two rows with the other…


Looks fantastic!

Mr Sew-Funky has come up with a brilliant idea for me to design a cloth for every month of 2009. I think it’s very achievable and have decided to grab his idea and run with it!

Please let me know if you make it, I love seeing my cloths popping up all over the internet… :)

And so, without further ado, I present to you the January 2009 Cloth!

Mock Cable Cloth | January 2009

Using 6mm needles and 100% worsted weight cotton yarn, cast on 16 stitches.
