100% Cotton Coloured Dishcloths - Free Knitting Pattern


Add a little luxury to your daily life, or treat someone else with these hand knitted 100% cotton dishcloths.

Hand knitted dishcloths are far superior to their machine made modern equivalents.  The extra thick bumpy, lumpy texture is perfect for scrubbing tough stains from your pans.  They are also fantastic in the bathroom, gently exfoliating even the most sensitive skin.

These dishcloths are availible to buy through my NuMonday shop.  If you'd like to make your own hand knitted dish cloths then you're in luck, I'm giving away my pattern completely free of charge.  Scroll down for details.


With their fabulous contrasting shades of pink and navy blue cotton yarn these dish rags will make the perfect accent for any kitchen be it modern or traditional.  There'll be no need to hide these away when guests arrive.

Such a delightfully simple luxury makes a perfect housewarming gift.  This set will be delivered beautifully presented wrapped in rustic string all ready for gift giving.  What better way to show someone how much you care about them than a little luxury they'll appreciate every single day.


Instead of the short lived modern equivalents these dishcloths will last years and years.  And I really do mean it, mine are just over 10 years old and still going strong.  They have been re-used thousands of times making them exceptionally Eco-friendly.

Completely hand knitted from durable 100% cotton yarn.


These dish cloths are super easy to care for, just pop them in the washing machine along with your normal washing.  They'll survive a boil wash if you wish but modern washing machines do a great job of cleaning most fabrics at much lower temperatures making it easy to save energy.  They'll be quite happy in your dryer too although I usually don't bother drying mine, they generally get used damp so I figure why bother drying them, I just pop them next to my sink ready to grab the next time one of my kids spills - so three seconds after they come out of the wash.  They're super quick to air dry if your household isn't in a messy season of life.

These dishcloths are availible to buy through my NuMonday shop.  If you'd like to make your own hand knitted dish cloths then you're in luck, I'm giving away my pattern completely free of charge.  

Happy dishcloth knitting!!

How to Sew Patchwork Sofa Covers - Free Patchwork Pattern


Caravan upholstery plus kids equals a costly mess.  So I've been meaning to make covers since forever.  

The snag is I don't have enough fabric - husband doesn't believe me - I have loads of fabric he says.  Well he is technically correct but I don't have anything like enough fabric in one colour or even four for that matter.  

I do have an embarrassingly large pile of "granny" fabric.  Most of it is quite literally inherited from my Grandma.  It's yukky yuk yuk.  A lot of it is pale be it white or cream ish.  

I also have a stash of Dylon Dyes I bought for a similar project that sat on my "to sew" list for so long I no longer have the sofa.

So a day of dyeing and here goes:

I cut all the fabric into 2.5 inch wide strips and sewed them into continuous lengths.


Then sewed the strips together.


Cut them into 8.5 inch wide squares.


One square laid on-top of another rotated through 90 degrees.


All four edges sewn with a 1/4 inch seam allowance.


Cut across the diagonal.


Then the other diagonal.


And press - starting to take shape!


Sewn together and pressed.


Here's the finished block.


15 blocks sewn together and laid on a velvet backing fabric.


Quilted using a walking foot.


And the excess trimmed off.

I've used these patchwork panels to make very simple slip covers for my caravan seats.
