The free simple Seed Stitch Knit Dishcloth Pattern is a great beginner project. Initially I created this pattern for myself to practice my knit and purl stitches. Consequently it turned out to be a cute pattern. In the event that there are other new knitters that might be seeking a good practice pattern, I decided to share it.

Additionally I thought a free pattern would be a great way to say “welcome to my blog”! 😁
As previously stated, I wrote this free simple seed stitch dishcloth knit pattern. However, I’m sure it exists elsewhere due to it’s simplicity. Nevertheless, it is worked up with a pair of straight knitting needles and a skein of cotton yarn. Furthermore, it is a super fun pattern to stitch. So get out your needles and happy stitching!

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.
