Welcome to the page I created for everything you will need to knit my Nubby Sand Stitch Dishcloth Pattern. To begin with, you should know this pattern includes a small photo tutorial within the file. Pictures are for the purpose of helping you with the new stitches you will be learning.
Free Patterns to try first
Indeed, if you’d like to see one of my patterns first, check out my Simple Seed Stitch Dishcloth Pattern and my Moss Stitch Dishcloth pattern, both of which I offer for free. Furthermore, if you scroll to the end of either of those links you will see an option to download the PDF file. As a final point, this will be similar to what this file will be like.
Small projects are the best kind to tackle when wanting to learn a new stitch. And what better project to practice on than one that people will be using to clean things up and perfect stitches and gauge aren’t really essential to a wonderful finished project.

What kind of yarn should you use to make the Nubby Sand Stitch Dishcloth Pattern?
There are a number of different kinds of yarn you could use to stitch these up. In fact I am going to include a few links of some I recommend. Because cotton yarns are my preferred yarn type for dishcloths, these will be mostly what I share. However, you should substitute to your own preferences. You need to love your finished work.
To begin with I highly recommend Knit Picks. In fact, this is one of my all time favorite places to shop. As a result, my Wishlist is always full of all the things I’d like to purchase or have gifted to me at some point. For this reason I have chosen 4 variations of their Dishie yarn pictured below that I highly recommend. Following this you will see pics of each of my favorites. Click on the link in the picture to check each one out.
Additionally the 24/7 Cotton yarn by the very reputable Lion Brand company is a great one to try. Indeed you know them for all the other wonderful yarns they sell. In addition to their well known Vanna’s Choice and Wool Ease brands, their cotton yarn is worth checking out as well.
Last, but certainly not least, is the age old Lily’s Sugar N’ Cream. Initially this is what I used to design this pattern. If you want to stick with the original, then check out the link below for Create For Less. However, it’s not a direct link to the Sugar N’ Cream yarn. That site is GINORMOUS! But even so, it’s very easy to find. Just type in Sugar N Cream or even just cotton yarn into the search bar. Either way it will bring it right up.
What needles and tools do I recommend for this project?
In addition to having great yarn, Knit Picks also carries my favorite needles. Initially I started knitting in 2012. Not only had I never knit myself, I didn’t know anyone who did either. I had no idea where to start. Therefore I decided to research extensively which were the best needles to buy at that time. Knit Picks topped the chart in so many categories that I decided to give them a try. In all honesty, I haven’t regretted it yet. As a matter of fact, I would buy them again today if given the choice.
If you’re unsure of what you should purchase, then I definitely recommend doing your own research and read the reviews. Keep in mind that you are making an investment in your craft. For this reason you want to be sure you’ll be happy with them for a long time to come. So check out the link below to see what the Knit Picks needles are all about. I highly recommend them being included in your research.
In addition to this, I’m also including a few links to Amazon for some interchangeable sets that come with excellent reviews. All things considered I believe interchangeable is one of the most economical ways to get started in knitting. These sets are versatile and can be used for just about any knitting project. In fact, you can even use them to knit in the round if you learn the magic loop!!
Additional Tools for when your wrists and/or hands ache
If you are like me and you knit and crochet a lot, something that I have found is useful at times is a pair of stress relief gloves. I own a few different kinds, but I do think any of them is better than not using anything at all if your hands and wrists are bothering you. I’ll include a few links for you to check out.
Need a little more help?
That should be about all you need if you want to try this one out. If you feel like you might need a little extra assistance and want online classes to help you, check out the link below for Annie’s and Crafty websites. I take online classes often to improve and advance my skills. You can always learn something new!
I taught myself to knit and crochet through kits that I found at my local craft store, so there is always that option as well. I’ll share links to kits similar to what I used that you can also find on Amazon if you can’t find at your local craft store or can’t get to one soon.
If you have any questions about the information in this post or about working up the Nubby Sand Dishcloth Knit Pattern, please just leave me a comment.
Happy Stitching!
