After creating my Free Simple Seed Stitch Dishcloth Pattern, I also designed this Knit Moss Stitch Dishcloth Pattern. I decided to offer both of these patterns for free on my website. They were my first two designs and they are great projects to aid beginners in learning to stitch.

Need a little more help?
In short, that should be about all you need if you want to try this one out. However, maybe you still feel like you might need a little extra assistance. That being the case you might want online classes to help you. If so, check out the links below for Craftsy or Annie’s. As a matter of fact, I take online classes often to improve and advance my skills. You can always learn something new! I actually taught myself to knit and crochet through “Teach myself” kits. In addition I’ll share a link for something very similar to what I purchased for myself below as well.
And as always, if you have any questions about any of the patterns or anything you see posted here on the blog or on one of my other sites, please don’t hesitate to email me at: stayathomestitchings@live.com or leave a comment here or any one of my sites. They are all connected to one email address, so I should get it and be able to get back to you as soon as my 4 children allow. :0)
