I swear there's something medicinal about your tutorials, Staci. I feel a bit off my game (upset stomach, flu-y, head cold)... I binge on your videos and hey-presto, my symptoms are gone. :D

Thank you so much for your gesture towards Ravelry and your followers x x
I love watching the videos you are by far the best knitting teacher on UA-cam
You're my favorite knitting mentor on the whole internet! Your little hands are so pretty and expressive.
OMG every time I watch you my mind is blown. I don't watch videos, I make them, and here I can watch a 28 minute video totally engrossed mumbling 'she's genius' throughout. I love you. Thank you. 💋
You're more advanced as a knitter than I can possibly hope to be. I am new at this and even have a bit of trouble sometimes with beginner patterns. I love these shaker clothes and I hope to be able to make one someday. You are a real pro. I really admire all your designs.
Claire I am a beginning knitter as well and with the videos plus the pattern you can do this i Know because I have done it this :) My husband is also a knew knitter and he has done this! So give it a try you might find that your better then what you think :)
Thank you so much! Great video. This is the very first video or instruction in which I could grasp Kitchener ( I have been knitting forever!) . It’s a miracle of your making!!!
To get your copy of the pattern for purchase and instant download, click the link just below the video, in the video description field. There is also a link on screen that appears when I tell you how to get your pattern.
This is just the best lesson ever!! Even if one is not into knitted or crocheted dish cloths this is invaluable as a lesson. So many facets of effective knitting is covered here, even including the perplexing problem of weaving off the stray bits so they won't unravel. Thanks so much - one of my favourites.
If you're following the pattern you're doing it correctly. Small holes are normal, and they disappear after you machine wash and dry the dishcloths. The look of all of your stitches will improve after washing and drying.
I just ordered this pattern! Guess what I'm doing tonight? Thank you for such a great instructional channel. In the year and half I've been knitting I've learned so much from your videos. Most of my knitting knowledge comes from you. Thanks!
I love this pattern. My daughter is going to Liberty University in fall and I've decided to make her and her roommate a set of 7 each for washcloths in the colors of their dorm room. She loves them. I will post pics on fb of the finished sets. :)
Thank you for showing me how to hide the ends! That has always been my nemesis and your technique does it perfectly. Thank you : )
Keeping the art alive baby! Absolutely fabulous!
Yes - using another device (like a mobile device) will get you around that. But the instructions I gave you to go to Ravelry directly will bypass my website, and not trigger your antivirus software.
I'm in love with the Kitchener Stitch!! I wish I had learnt that sooo many years ago!!
I need to try it! There are so many babies being born, this pattern looks really simple but effective! It might give me the kick up the bum I need to stop using kitchen roll to mop up spills! Thank you! :D
Kathy - thank you for the note! That is a mistake, and I've corrected the pattern. You should get a notice that the new pattern is available for download to you. Instead of "19", it should read "11". The entire line is "Begin working these 12 rows a 12th time, but complete 11 rows only."
The link to my website appears just below the video (in the video description field, between the video and the comments section). It also appears on screen, in the video at 1:41. Clicking on either will take you to my website.
I watched all sections of the video through just to familiarize myself with the processes involved, because this is coming up in my que! If I ever get through my first lace project that is. It didn't come with videos like yours do. Lesson learned :)
I've been dealing with cognitive issues for a while now and have a hard time retaining information, so it takes a lot of time before I finally "get" something. The additional support of visual instruction to supplement the written pattern really, really helps!
This video is made to accompany a written pattern. It isn't confusing when you use both the pattern and the video together. In fact, Ravelry users have rated this pattern as "easy".
Hi Kathy - yes, and yes. :) I agree with you...I find 100% cotton yarn to be stressful on my hands. The yarn I use in this pattern (Knit Picks Comfy Worsted) is easy on my hands, and absorbent as a finished dishcloth. In fact, I prefer the cotton/acrylic blend as a dishcloth, too - not just as a knitter.
Hi Sandra - yes, the brand of antivirus software called Avast is currently giving false-positive virus warnings for my website. There is no virus, and I've gone around and around with the company trying to get this fixed. I don't know what else I can do. But you can still get your pattern...just go to Ravelry and search the patterns for "Shaker Dishcloths". You can get your pattern straight from there.
I enjoy your easy to follow along directions/instructions....you are also fun to watch and listen too! I look forward in checking out many of your creations!
Loved the cloths, but more than that I LOVED your manicure! I couldn't take my eyes off it! Very elegant, and a little bit vintage. Fabulous!
I just downloaded the pattern and look forward to more fun with Staci. Thanks for all of the great instruction, you're a great teacher!
This will be great to reduce my stash! Thanks for the awesome tips for weaving in/finishing - I'm always at a loss as to what to do!
I was looking for a round knit trivet pattern and was having trouble finding patterns that were round looking instead of a hexagonal shape. I'm so happy to have found your video and can't wait to make a couple of these dishcloths to use as trivets.
No, gauge isn't really important. I list it in the pattern for these reasons - with the correct gauge, the size of the dishcloths/coasters will be as listed in the pattern; and the yardage needed will also be accurate. Different gauge will require different yarn amounts, and will create differently-sized dishcloths.
Thank you for the note, Sonia. My website is up and running fine, but if you are using Avast (AVG) antivirus software, you will see a false-positive virus warning. There is no virus, and I have tried and tried to get the company to remove the warning, to no avail.
You can still follow me on Ravelry, Facebook, and UA-cam. Or if you like, you can send a trouble ticket to your antivirus software company, encouraging them to fix the problem.
I can't wait to make these! What a fun way for me to learn new skills! You have taught me so much with your vids! I'm now finishing an entrelac baby blanket for grandchild number six, thanks to you.
It will work, yes. But your gauge (stitches per inch) will probably be different than I have in the pattern, and so the thickness of the dishcloth and/or diameter will be different.
I learn so much when I watch your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Super clear. I am doing a circular pillow "steering wheel" for my little boys bed and needed something easy. Thanks!

Great Instructional video! Can't wait to start knitting the dishcloths. I love the extra knitting tips you give in your videos. VeryPink Knits is my go to for knitting help!!
Hi Leonie - yes, after you've knit this pattern, you can see how it can be easily modified to any size, even all the way up to a baby blanket. I give guidelines for resizing in the pattern.
Linda - you always want to make dishcloths that can be machine washed and dried. If yours are "shrinking" - the shrunken size is the actual size they are after they're washed and blocked (in this case, machine washed and dried). If they're smaller than you like, you may want to make them bigger, or use a bigger gauge. For this pattern, in this yarn, the finished dishcloth is over 8" in diameter, which is a good size.
OMGOSH!! i just had the most radical idea!! what if we do this pattern... with TULE!! make like a shaker scrubbie!! ...im so going to give that a try! and thanks for the pattern! best $4 i ever spent, i have a pile of them xDDDDD
Hello everyone, here is my project for holiday that just finished. Thanks to VeryPink Knits!
www.craftsy.com/project/view/knit-shaker-rug/245106
Thank you for your response. I couldn't find a worsted weight yarn, so I bought a DK yarn with needle size 3-4mm and used 3.75mm.
Shows how good this tutorial and pattern are....I've just purchased the pattern in 2020!
Great! Yes, this pattern and tutorial are a few years old, but still active, and I'm still actively supporting both! :)
Thanks Stacie and I got the corrected download. Thanks for all that you do.
Great video! very clear and concise and I'm happy to see that you have demonstrated all the finishing techniques, too.
Just the best knitted circle ! Bought your pattern. Thank you for this amazing tutorial ❤
Hi Ethel - you could make this dishcloth the top of a beret, but it would take more than modifying this pattern. You would actually need a whole new pattern to turn the circle into a hat.
I can't picture exactly what you're describing, but if you're working stripes in the round, you do want to correct the color change jog (knitting into the stitch below on the second round of the new color is a good way). You can see it demonstrated in my video "Knitting Help - Correcting Color Change Jog".
Your instruction videos are the best. Thank you so much.
I can see this being easily adapted to make ponchos or bags as well, blankets, rugs, all sorts of larger things....
And the gauge swatch was fine. You're corrext in that the gaps closed up a little after adjusting the stitches. I'll wash, block it and see, and also try the range of needle sizes recommended for the yarn on my next one. I appreciate your input.
I haven't done the felting yet, but I'm sure it will felt nicely. I'm still waiting for a load hot-wash laundry to pile up, so I can throw the wool circle in there!
Sorry - I can't do that. If your parents don't let you buy knitting patterns, you can always browse all of the free patterns/tutorials I have available. I have a ton of them, and you can see them on my channel page, or on my website.
You can see a demonstration of how to seam a pieced cardigan in my tutorial called "Ombre Dyed Sweater". The technique is pretty much the same for all pieced cardigans.
Excellent Tutorial and wonderful videos, Staci! Thank you for yet another wonderful pattern!
Thank you Staci, you are so generous!
these are adorable love the colors can't wait to try it!!
Thank you, Danielle! I'm loving this half-moon manicure. I might make it my "thing" for a while, at least. :)
I love this pattern! Thank you so much!
I love your videos and look forward to all you posts
Thank You
Thank you very much! I love these!
thank you, I love small projects! I think I'll be using this yarn that I got from Korea, it's scratchy so it'll be a great scrubbie.
Thank you for your good description
Just the pattern i was looking for.....colorful
I made one your aunt emma collars for my lady friend, she wears it thru out the entire winter, she says it's the warmest collar for her, I am going to work on a coaster, see how that goes..
Every once in a while you come across a pattern that allows you to use up all of your excess scrap yarn. **grin**
I just bought this pattern and then ran across this video...... You are amazing and I love all your videos, they are very well done!
Just curious, I have knit short rows without wraps before and they have left a bit of a hole... I did not notice any in your dishcloths, if by chance they show up in mine could I use the German Short Row technique?
This pattern looks really fun! But I'm literally in the middle of your fingerless glove pattern that I am knitting for my sister.
GREAT tutorial. Thank you
Fantastic training videos. X
Haha - "VeryPink Wednesday". That's cute!
very very beautiful this is what i was looking for
Ok thnx ill try it out without the written pattern. Youre AMAZING!!! Thanx girl
very cool, Staci! love it!
es algo que venia buscando todo el tiempo . gracias ya mismo buscare que hacerlo. graciassss
I love these!! So cute!
Hey Ms Stacie; I love all your videos and patterns, cause you make it really simple to watch and learn; however, on this particular pattern I continually have holes in my work. I am going to assume it has something to do with my turning and/or slip. But I promise I have watched the video over and over and I am pretty sure I am doing like you have shown and said to do. Please help, thank you. Polly Oh I am following the "no picot edge" instructions.
Really neat. I've made a bunch with a similar pattern that had 14 points but is cast on without the provisional cast on method. seaming up the ends leaves a ridge and the center hole is larger. I'll give this method a try. I like to use them as washcloths so I always use cotton yarn. I'm curious if you did felt your wool yarn sample and if so how it turned out. Thank you for the tutorial video, very helpful and informative.
thank you for your quick response i will give it a try
i love the pattern i have 1 year to make them for christmas
I wonder, could this be supersized and used as a baby blanket? I don't use knit dishcloths or coasters but it looks like so much fun to knit!
This is wonderful! Thank you so much!
Hi Staci,
I was viewing the Tunisian crotchet version when I saw this and just bought the kindle version. I was just going to dive in with Aran weight cotton yarn and 5mm needle, and thought to ask if it will work. I am a self-taught beginner knitter and sorry if you already answered this somewhere here. I couldn't read through all the comments. Many thanks.
+Anthonia Onwordi - I recommend using the suggested needle size and yarn weight, but you can always start the pattern and see if you like the fabric. If you like the fabric you're creating, you're good.
Can you please make more blanket patterns. I also have multiple balls of yarn that are too small to do anything with and i was wondering if you could make something centered around that. Love your channel!!!
Anita She has an awesome scrap blanket pattern called "Learn to Knit a Log Cabin Blanket" She also has the You Tube videos to help you work this up :)
These are so cute and knit up so fast! Question: If I want to do a placemat what would you suggest for cast on count? Thanks again for your great patterns and videos!!!
you and your work just amazing magical too love you as well as your hard work its really encouraging
love you God bless :-*
What would you think about using these, maybe even the coaster size, for baby washcloths?
Love your videos!!!!!!
I really liked this pattern and my request to you is plzzzzzzzz show a table mat of big size and even in hindi language plzz looking for kind response from you.😃😃
thanks a lot for replying. I'll try that
Staci I love this pattern. I bought my copy a few days ago from Ravelry. Would you please create more dishcloth patterns?
Another beautiful project!!thank you for all those amazing ideas.would it be possible to have the crochet pattern?i do not know how to knit and learnt recently how to crochet!!
I love these!! I’ve made dishcloths for everyday use for decades!! Do you have a pattern for dish towels?
I REALLY am in love with this pattern both my husband and i have made these beautiful dishcloths and i want to make some for Christmas gifts ... My question to you is the yarn that i was able to get is not as strong and when doing the Kitchener stitch my yarn broke 3X :( would you recommend I just do it loose and have that gaping seam or would you recommend i use another seaming technique?
I would recommend using a different yarn for the seam, or holding (double stranded) a polyester thread along with your yarn when seaming.
Holey Moley, got finished and evidently somehow ( duh, wasn't paying enuf attention, cause I thought I had it) I messed up the kitchener stitch. I am thinking that I would have to be pretty advanced to "undo" the kitchener stitich, and is it even possible. This one is my first so it is has certainly been a great learning tool. Any advice, or shall I just keep it as a reminder to pay attention. Thanks Stacey, Polly
So I guess this is what you call "short rows" but without the wrap and turn. I would really like a video explaining that as I want to make the Sort Row Ruffled Shawl (by Grace Akhrem) and would like a lesson on short rows to prepare for it.
This project is in garter stitch, so short rows can be worked without wraps & turns. Here is my video on wraps & turns:
ua-cam.com/video/G4GxFvi4KD0/v-deo.html
And here is my video on picking up the wraps: ua-cam.com/video/-xaz41JTkLc/v-deo.html
Did you felt that piece? I really wanted to see that!!
Hi Stacie. (Hope I spelled that right....) Can you do some tutorial on something fun to knit for summer? I'm a fairly new knitter, and all I know is hats, scarves, ect. But what would be a good summer project?
I purchased this pattern - it's such an easy, fun knit! I've made this pattern the way you designed it and everything turned out beautifully, but I was wondering - why use kitchener for stockinette instead of kitchener for garter (or as most people seem to call it "garter grafting stitch)? Just curious.
There is no need...it ends up looking fine. If you did kitchener for garter, you would have two purl bump rows right next to each other, which would catch the eye.
Ah. I hadn't tried it, but that makes sense. Thank you!
I love these. I was searching for how to knit something round so I could make felted round coasters. Have you ever made these in wool and felted them?
Yes - I have. I made the dishcloths and felted them to use as trivets for putting hot things on the wood table, they work really well!
@@verypinkknits thank you!!
I’m confused we’re do I find the pattern 😅
MUY HERMOSO TODO. LASTIMA QUE NO SE INGLÉS . TE ESCRIBO DESDE ARGENTINA.
GRACIAS.
