Destination Dishcloth! Free knit dishcloth pattern
The perfect knit project for any destination this summer, dishcloths! Free knit dishcloth patterns, that is. Quick knits, light breathable eco-friendly yarns, small and on the go – what more can you ask for in a summer knitting project? Announcing Destination Dishcloth!
As a knitter, I love knitting dishcloths. It’s true. I’m guilty. Maybe other people love to knit socks and sweaters, and I do too. Others are hung up on beanies and scarves – love it! Blankets? Can’t get enough. I’m here for all of it, but I have to say time and time again, I find my way over to the 100% cotton yarn, the cool looking stitch patterns, and knit me up some swatches that become a part of my everyday life.

Some ideas for why you might want to join Destination Dishcloth:
Destination Dishcloth is not just about dishcloth knitting. Nope, there are sizes so you may choose to knit up some smaller and make eco-friendly makeup remover pads for the environmentally conscientious friend who always looks fabulous.
All knitters need to have a nice stack of hand knit dishcloths/washcloths for the home. Why? Because it’s so practical and fun. They can be knit up quickly and are super useful. Maybe you knit a scarf you never wear, been there and done that. But have you ever knit a dishcloth you didn’t use? I don’t think so!
Are you a last minute knit gift knitter? You want each of your kids’ teachers, or maybe each of your friends to have one thing that you hand knit to show them how much you love them, but you wait until it’s too late. Typically you run out of time and wish you had something that was one-size fits all? Get a jumpstart on combatting that feeling!
And it helps that all Destination Dishcloth is full of free knit dishcloth patterns, so you don’t even have to spend money on the pattern!
What level knitter should join Destination Dishcloth?
All of them.
Seriously, if you’re a marathon, year-round, 24/7/365 knitting junkie, Destination Dishcloth is the perfect place to unwind, and just enjoy a little victory lap. A little knitting snack that you can complete in an evening.
Maybe you’re just a sporadic and seasonal knitter, that’s ok too! These patterns are not too complicated. You can enjoy knitting it up in your spare time and take as long as you want to finish them.
Beginners and newbies – I’m looking at you. Let me tell you, my personal knitting philosophy is that learning to knit is best done on dishcloths. Practice, practice, practice, and make something cute and useful all at once.
So yeah, all knitters can join Destination Dishcloth.

Final thoughts on Destination Dishcloth
Destination Dishcloth is THE place to be this summer. Your dishcloth knitting is here for the (insert whatever sport/activity your kid does here) that gives you some downtime that’s usually spent scrolling. Dishcloth knitting can be done on trains, plains and automobiles. Imagine knitting in dark cool movie theaters, on picnic blankets in parks listening to good live music and sipping your favorite beverage. Maybe even sitting in a cozy campfire chair enjoying nature, sounds, smells and sights while you fully unwind through a ball of yarn creating something that won’t harm the environment you are currently enjoying.
Going on the ultimate vacation or the best stay-cation of your life, you can knit some dishcloths. And maybe you are new to knitting dishcloths. Let me tell you, it’s addicting. Pulling out a dishcloth to do dishes, not super fun. Pulling out a dishcloth that you hand made with this gorgeous yarn – now we’re talking!
Personally, when I open my linen closet, I look for those bright hand knit dishcloths. They bring a smile to my face, even when I’m doing the world’s most annoying daily chore – dishes.
Whether you are knitting for yourself, someone you love, or for sale – I hope you enjoy each stop along the way.

Flower Garden Dishcloth
How I love to visit botanical gardens in the summer. Cosmos, roses, lilys, lilacs, Honestly, who can pick a favorite flower? Um, me, but that’s besides the point. This dishcloth is designed to look like a carefully curated flower garden. A lovely border surrounds your soil with carefully curated flowers popping up to say hello.
The Flower Garden Dishcloth is worked flat and comes in four different sizes. The border is made up of garter stitch, and the main portion of the pattern is stockinette stitch with a few purls to represent the flowers.
After the Concert Gridlock Dishcloth
Your high on adrenaline, the summer air has a slight breeze, it’s dark at night with headlights and stars shining down. You turn on the bands album that’s your personal favorite and don’t even mind the fact that you are stuck on a total gridlock of cars.
Worked flat, the After the Concert Gridlock Dishcloth uses a seed stitch boarder to represent gravel and a gridlocked pattern to resemble a parking lot, and line of cars waiting to hit the road.
Cross-Sea Waves Dishcloth
These waves apparently signal danger, but aren’t they also super cool looking? I personally love it. The waves coming in at a diagonal pattern, lapping at the beach.
Cross-Sea Waves Dishcloth is worked flat and features a rib stitch on the diagonal. Beware, you will need to blog this a lot for the pattern to shine, but I think it’s pretty worth it myself.
Moss on the Trail Dischcloth
Of course, we’re hiking – it’s summer. And that means we can spy some moss here and there on rocks, trails and tree trunks.
Moss on the Trail Dishcloth is worked flat and features a garter stitch border with Irish Moss Stitch pattern as the main body of the pattern.
Freshly mowed Grass Dishcloth
The iconic smell of summer – freshly mowed grass. You know it when you smell it. It just smells fresh, and summery.
The Freshly Mowed Grass Dishcloth features a seed stitch border and classic stockinette stitch body. Of course you can always turn it over and pretend that purl side is before the grass is mowed, LOL. Either way it makes for a classic design that looks good no matter what yarn you use.

Destination Dishcloth Yarn Recommendations
If you want to make it easy on yourself, get the Knit Picks Dishie. That’s what I used and it’s brilliant! It comes in a variety of colors
Each pattern takes anywhere from 5-24 yards/5-23 meters of yarn, depending on which size you choose to knit. Most patterns include 3 or more sizes. If you choose to knit more than one of each pattern, you should purchase yarn according to how many dishcloths you wish to make.
