Spring Cloths

There's no denying that springtime is here. It's getting warmer by the day and the trees are starting to bud. So of course I had to design another cloth set. It was the perfect excuse to head out and buy some more beautiful cotton colors. I swear these look like candy.

I always tend to have a favorite design in each of the sets but I just can't pick one this time. From designing the charts to knitting up the finished cloths each one was perfect. I hope you will enjoy them just as much as I did.

I've been a busy bee myself these days. I have lots of patterns in the works at the moment. Between that and being a full time mom I'm a bit overwhelmed. But everyday gives me the creative outlet to have fun and enjoy every moment of parenting.


Lily's Sugar'n Cream Solid:

Sun- 00073: Sunshine (Yellow)
Butterfly- 00093: Soft Violet (Purple)
Umbrella- 00083: Cornflower Blue (Blue)
Flowers- 00046: Rose PInk (Pink)

Lion Cotton Solid:
Tree- Avocado Article: #760-134

Peaches & Crème:
Bumble Bee- Camel #89


This pattern is available as a PDF download and priced at $3.25. There are six cloth patterns in this set.

If you have any questions about the pattern or payment options, please feel free to contact me via email at KrisPatay4@yahoo.com or on Ravelry: KristenKnits.




Heres a link to the pattern page on Ravelry!

I made each written pattern with a corresponding chart for the dishcloth. From the sets that I've already made, I've managed to get about 2-2½ cloths out of one ball of Lily's Sugar'n Cream Solid Yarn. Though you can use any kitchen cotton you prefer.

At the moment I'm currently working on Easter cloths and a spring bag design that is turning out beautifully. I can't want to finish the pattern. Hoping everyone is well and enjoying the "better" weather we've been having.

**I just love the ideas that some of you are having with these and posting on Ravelry and twitter. I think using a bigger needle lets say a US #6 or 7 and any worsted weight yarn that can be blocked would make a spectacular baby blanket. I might have to pick up some soft wool and try this myself. I know someone who's expecting this summer and it would be perfect!**

  2. I love your patterns. I purchased the Christmas group hoping to get a jump on the holiday gifts, but I can't for the life of me make mine look as good as yours. My backround never looks as flat an even as yours. Maybe it's my blocking. Any suggestions?

  3. I had posted a few tips and tricks in the Valentine's Day post about blocking and making your stitches look flat so you might want to look there. After knitting the cloth I would suggest stretching out the cloth under running water for awhile. Then gently wringing out the excess water and laying the cloth flat and pressing down the stockingnet stitches to dry. After time with all the washing and drying the picture will seem to stand out more as well. Hope this helps a little.

  6. Thank you so much! I must have checked your site 6 or 7 times throughout the day.

    Right before putting the kids to bed, I thought, I'll check one more time and there the Spring Cloths were! Yippee!

    I have purchased all the sets except the Halloween ones, and knitted them all up, too!

    Now you are teasing me with Easter cloths. I can't wait! I love your designs. Thank you so very much!

  16. I LOVE your patterns! I purchased the Spring set and was so excited to finish one washcloth in a day! I knit kinda slow and love projects I can do quickly. These cloths are SO cute!!! Now I'm starting on the umbrella cloth.

    I've also just purchased the Autumn set - my kitchen is decorated in pumpkins and autumn leaves so these will go perfect!

    Thanks for these beautiful patterns!

  17. Love this set, finished them all in one day! Delightful as always! Looking forward to an Easter set. Found the perfect yarns for the Thanksgiving set, and though the season isn't right, will be whipping those up too! I agree, a baby set...I'm going to be a Grandma again in July...

  20. So darned cute. I think that hand knit washcloths are the BEST. I treasure the ones that I have and they are so much nicer than store-bought.

  21. Help. What about row 12 of the butterfly spring cloth. I am a fairly new knitter and I am not sure what to do.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I love the patterns. The pattern for the butterfly cloth in the spring cloths is missing row 12 in the written portion, though.
