The With a Twist Dishcloth Pattern

Posted in 2025, The With a Twist Dishcloth Pattern by


The With a Twist Dishcloth is a knitted mitered square dishcloth. Two stitches are decreased in the middle every other row to create a mitered square. The dishcloth is knitted using cotton yarn and the twisted stockinette pattern. The mitered square is created using the double vertical decrease technique. The double decrease technique creates a vertical stitch in the center of the mitered square. Dishcloths are budget friendly and versatile in their use for cleaning, wiping, and drying. They are also useful for learning new knitting stitch patterns and techniques. The With a Twist Dishcloth is finished using the crochet moss stitch in the round. This is followed by a round of slip stitch and a chain one border edge. A hanging loop of crochet chain is added to the dishcloth in the end.

During a heatwave, knitting dishcloths with cotton yarn is practical both for personal use as well as for gifting. I knit dishcloths so I can explore and learn the different knit stitch patterns.

The Center Out Mitered Dishcloth Pattern

Posted in April 2022 by

The Center Out Mitered Dishcloth

The Center Out Mitered Dishcloth is knit in the round from the center using the magic loop cast on and knitting method. I’ve used magic loop cast on and knitting method to knit top-down hat (posted here), blanket (posted here), etc.  Although a bit fiddly the first few rounds, magic loop cast on and knitting method makes customizing to preferred size more straightforward. 

In the Center Out Mitered Dishcloth pattern, eight stitches are cast on using the magic loop cast on method (several tutorials available on YouTube), and then 8 stitches are increased every other round to the preferred size. A 2 stitch I-cord bind off border including a hanging loop is added to finishing the dishcloth.
