Easy to Knit Kitchen Towels and Dishcloths

Book excerpt: Why knit a dishcloth? First dishcloths are excellent projects for beginners. They are also great projects for more experienced knitters who want to make a quick gift or want a project they can complete start to finish in a day. These hanging kitchen towels and dishcloths are quick and easy to make. You can knit a set in just a weekend using cotton yarns and number 9 knitting needles. They are knitted using interesting textured patterns that may look complicated but are actually very easy to knit. Kitchen towel sets make great gifts or a nice addition to your own kitchen! The skill levels for the patterns are beginner and easy. You should, however, already know the basic stitches and how to read patterns. You need to know how to cast on, knit, purl, yarn over, knit two together, and bind off. Included in this book are pattern instructions for 6 different kitchen towels with matching dishcloths. At the end of the book in the helpful hint section there are detailed instructions for blocking your dishcloths. I hope you enjoy making these easy to knit kitchen towel sets.
