You do such amazing work so easy. You help me realize l can do the same while l am learning from you. Praise God he made you very much of a teacher to help us knit for the poor in every situation. Peace be with you and your spirit.
Thank you for your pattern and informative tutorial. I like the way you start your washcloth. I am using it to make a baby blanket. Take care and stay safe.
Oh my goodness! Thank you very much for your wonderful words! It's people like you that make me feel complete! Please, be around. You bring good vibes to the web site!
YOU are the reason why I enjoy doing this so much. People who want to learn and also understand the rewarding and therapeutic part of knitting!. I really appreciate this amazing, wonderful comment. You inspire me to keep teaching. Best wishes from San Antonio, TX!
One of the better knitting videos I have seen on YO. I have been knitting for years and have not learned YO. Now I think I can do this. Thank u so much too bad it too me til 2014 to find this one.
I have watched a handful of your videos so far, and I have to say, not only are you an intelligent knitter (most intelligent I had ever seen on UA-cam) but yet you are also an excellent instructor! You made me become such a better knitter and I have to say thank you so much and look forward for more to come :)
You are an awesome soul, sharing useful and videos in kindest way ,many thanks for your great gestures, can you please guide me in making a rectangular blanket,
I am happy to know that! So, I feel good about reminding you what wonderful things you can make. The web is full of wonderful ideas! It's a world of patterns out there! Keep in touch.
These r so cute - when I get bored with myself - I find Joannes' voice to calming - to listen to and I knit & rewind or pause as I need to. These are such awesome washcloths and I love the end gift .. that is so creative. thank u
Hello, I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful instruction videos - you've a real knack for clear, warm, and encouraging communication. I'm a total novice and I've started but never finished many projects, now thanks to you I have a very respectable washcloth and I'm almost finished a tunic! People demand I show them how to do your feather/fan stitch! You seem like a really lovely lady with wonderful wisdom, many thanks again and best wishes to you from northern Ireland xxx
Your pattern is a variation of the Grandmothers dishcloth pattern I use. Yours has little changes, but makes a much better looking cloth. I am going to use your pattern. I enjoyed watching your video.
I've knitted a similar cloth before but I find I like your pattern better, thanks! It does make a perfect little gift and your tutorial was very easy to follow. Happy day to you 😊
Yes. I have one I made with black, silver and gold. I used a black I cord. Love it! I can carry an ID, car keys and lipstick. Thanks for giving the idea. Girls would love to have one !
Thank you Brian!!! So nice to have men knitting. I once got a picture of a football player, knitting at the bench, waiting to be called to play. So amazing, with his helmet and huge shoulders! We all need a relaxing hobby! Thank you for your feedback!!! Big hug!
I just want to say Thank You So Much!!! I'm a very new self taught beginner Knitter 😳, and this is my favorite blanket to make! I just finished one for my daughter, and doubled the yarn. I used Caron's Simply Soft in Strawberry, and it came out gorgeous, it's so soft and squishy 😜. I'm now making another for myself, single stand, and I'm striping it. I'm using yarn I bought from Hobby Lobby, and it's SO SOFT. Love it!
Thank you for your comment! I love the Simply Soft. It has a very nice weight. Good choice! I made one with it for my grandson and it's one of his favorites.
Thank you again…I just started back with working on projects and forgot how to do this washcloth. But, I’m making a fun fur/eyelash scarfing bright yellow. 💕💃🏻 Hope all is well with you and daughter.🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this video. I have been wrecking my brain trying to figure out why my wash cloth was not coming out right. I was doing my k2 and YO backwards. Your videos are TRULY the best I have seen yet. Thank you!!!!
I just want to say thank you for the videos I just started to knit and I have learned so much from you. you make it nice and easy to understand so that even a beginner like me can try it out. Thank you so very much.
Thanks so much for this posting. I was looking for something like this to clean my recorders and penny whistle that is nice enough to bring out in public (instead of old rags from cut up pajamas). This will be just fine with cotton yarn. Thanks again.
Wow. Going to try this. I make my own soap. Been thinking of ways for packaging. This would be great... thank you for your tutorial and wonderful gift idea!!!! God bless.
Rebecca Black Yes! My knitting students have made these as gifts. They are great and if you make your own soap, you have it made. Congratulations! God bless you too!
@anabalp I used "I love this cotton" It's a very soft yarn. It's sold at Hobby Lobby. I used size #8 knitting needles. 2 balls of yarn will give you 3 washcloths. The largest part of it is about 50 to 55 stitches, depending on the tension you knit (how tight or loose) As you knit, you will know how large you want it, since all sides measure the same. When you have the measurement you want on the 2 sides you have, then you start decreasing. Be well and Happy Holidays! Joanne
Thank you JESUS,,,, I have been ill for the many years. No knitting. Now it has been a week and I watching you. It is taking me many times just starting…my left hand has Dupatrin , not sure of spelling.. so it takes some time. Easy to follow. I am 78 yet and just found out I have LUPUS…,, that explains why I was ill for many ears. Your my Savior, thank you I did the first five rows, I am good now. It’s 12:10 on this Tuesday night. Thank you for being there for me. Before I was I’ll, I made many of them. I like you five stitches to begin with. Judy West Allis Wi. 🥰

Yes dear. I believe Ana, my daughter, posted all the holiday freebies on. Please check it out. It must be on the website. Everyone loves these. So easy to make.
If it's difficult to start with 5 and do the center one after 2 rows, you can cast on 6, knit 4 rows and start with the (knit 3, yarn over) increasing rows You can do it!
I love this so much, have made several already. I make natural handmade soap and will be making and selling these washcloths on my site. Blessings to you!
Carrie Cronkite So glad to know this! They are pretty. I make them all year round for gifts. Sometimes I make them with thinner cotton yarn and put a sashay bag with lavender inside, instead of soap. A bag with lavender soap would be wonderful for having next to your bed and and have the smell help you sleep. Yes!!! Happy New Year!
I love the way this washcloth looks when it's done. I thing the way you fixed it up as a gift was so wonderful. I'm going to get started right now making some for next Christmas. I noticed you had a direction sheet. Do you have that available?
Hi, loved your video - you mention written directions - where can I get them? Thanks so much Can't wait to get home and make one of these. My aunt used to make them but passed away, now I need to learn how to do it myself and your video will be a great help.
so my guess is if you want to make it longer than wider you get to as wide as you want then start K3 yo and K2tg knit to end for as long as you like then decrease is this correct?
Because you start at one corner and finish on the opposite corner, it becomes a square. It would look like an elongated kite if you do it the way you say. If you want it a rectangle, start on one side and knit as long as you wish. You can still make a yo, k2tog at the beginning of each row to have that pattern.
With the tail of the left over yarn, still connected to the washcloth, you make a chain of about 15, with E or F hook, then cut the yarn and sew tail to other side of the corner.
@recyclingmom Hi there. Joanne will be able to answer this question between tonight and tomorrow. The size when finished I believe is about 12-15 in across. :D
There is a dishcloth pattern that is on floating around here on UA-cam.... and I have adapted it with your washcloth to pouch idea.... going to post it on another channel hope I’m not infringing on your idea.... thanks
Thanks for the lesson, I love the simple classic style. Question???? The YO decrease holes seem to come out a bit larger, is there a trick to making them more uniform?
superb idea!!
Thank you,this is the best dish cloth that i have seen. Love the way that you begin it
How lovely. Thank you ❤️
You do such amazing work so easy. You help me realize l can do the same while l am learning from you. Praise God he made you very much of a teacher to help us knit for the poor in every situation. Peace be with you and your spirit.

Tatyana Semenoff Thank you.
Thanks so much for this posting. I was looking for something like this to clean my recorders and penny whistle that is nice enough to bring out in public (instead of old rags from cut up pajamas). This will be just fine with cotton yarn. Thanks again.
I've made this cloth many times, but not so creative as this. Very cute. Going to switch it up this Xmas for sure! Thank you for your wonderful ideas!
Lovely and beautiful ! Gift for all season... Excellent ideas and thank you.
Wow. Going to try this. I make my own soap. Been thinking of ways for packaging. This would be great... thank you for your tutorial and wonderful gift idea!!!! God bless.

You are welcome. Thank you for watching and welcome to our site!
Thanks so much for this great and simple tutorial, I've only been knitting a few months and wanted to try this.
This is a little different than I’ve made but I really like your pattern. Especially gathering it with a ribbon. Thank you.

Thank you so much! Your instructions were great and I'm actually knitting a washcloth to give as a gift!
You are welcome!, it's very easy and it looks great as a gift with soap or a lavender pouch inside.
Happy New Year!
I’d love to get a gift like that!
Make it and give it to yourself. I have several in my bathroom that I use and 2 for when I have company.
Thank you. Good idea for Christmas.
Thank you so much

I love it too! I have been teaching this washcloth in class for many years.
I love to put a soap inside and make it a gift.. Thank you for the cheers!
Hi, loved your video - you mention written directions - where can I get them? Thanks so much Can't wait to get home and make one of these. My aunt used to make them but passed away, now I need to learn how to do it myself and your video will be a great help.
Hi Lory! We have the instructions on the web: Holiday gift ideas. They are fun to make and very easy. Be well!
Awesome - thank you
can we change the stitch count make a matching bath towel? For example end at 110 or 165 stitches. Have you tried this. Love this video :)
Absolutely! I have students that make baby blankets with this pattern.
Yo hice este con el hilo del dollar store y me quedo muy bien.
Yo tambien he comprado estambre alli. Hay que ver que no haga peluza, es todo.
so my guess is if you want to make it longer than wider you get to as wide as you want then start K3 yo and K2tg knit to end for as long as you like then decrease is this correct?
Because you start at one corner and finish on the opposite corner, it becomes a square. It would look like an elongated kite if you do it the way you say. If you want it a rectangle, start on one side and knit as long as you wish. You can still make a yo, k2tog at the beginning of each row to have that pattern.
i like the border better than another i used this one is nicer thanks
I went to your web site, could not find the pattern. Is it still available. Enjoyed your pattern very much.
Please click on "show more" at the bottom of the video. You'll find the written pattern there.
Thankyou
Which is better knitted dishcloths or crochet
They have different texture. For thicker work, use crochet. I like the knitted ones because they are so flexible.
@@JoannesWeb thank u so very much
Awesome! Instead of ribbon I can use ICord and make it as a purse.and give to little girl. Thank you.
Thank you again ... Today is June 8, 2013... I'm getting ready for Christmas
Could this be made larger for a baby blanket?
Absolutely! We have a very nice shrug made this way
ua-cam.com/video/ApkKWewuTYo/v-deo.html
can you make a video on making a crochet a shower puffs
How do you crotchet an ear on the dishcloth?
With the tail of the left over yarn, still connected to the washcloth, you make a chain of about 15, with E or F hook, then cut the yarn and sew tail to other side of the corner.
@recyclingmom Hi there. Joanne will be able to answer this question between tonight and tomorrow. The size when finished I believe is about 12-15 in across. :D
Can you knit until you have 45 sts instead of 55 sts before decrease
Yes. It will come out smaller, but of course you can.
JoannesWeb thank you
There is a dishcloth pattern that is on floating around here on UA-cam.... and I have adapted it with your washcloth to pouch idea.... going to post it on another channel hope I’m not infringing on your idea.... thanks
what size of needle did you use ?
You don't have to knit the back of the stitch, put the needle in back and just slip the stitch off , called FBS.
if i want a bigger size what to do?
You can knit with 2 yarns together and larger needles. Like a size 11US.
Mam we won't get good yarns here. Tat is my probs mama
Thanks for the lesson, I love the simple classic style.
Question????
The YO decrease holes seem to come out a bit larger, is there a trick to making them more uniform?
Good to see the decrease
Which brand of yarn are you using?
I Love this cotton from Hobby Lobby.
?
You’re keeping the camera on you too much causing problems with showing the knitting.
