Dimple Washcloth Knit Pattern

Today I have made a very simple Dimple Washcloth Knit Pattern to share with all of you. It's pretty quick to knit up. I thought it would make a cute stocking stuffer. You can make it in any color and for any room decor. I love my homemade washcloths for my bath, but I know a lot of people use them in the kitchen, also. Be creative and enjoy.

Dimple Washcloth Knit Pattern

1 3 oz skein Sugar and Cream Yarn (any color) or any medium weight cotton yarn

Size 7 or 4.00 mm knitting needles

Pattern

Cast on 50 stitches.

Knit 1 row.

Work Pattern:

Row 1. Knit 2, (k 1, sl 1)* across to last 2 stitches, K2

Row 2. K 2, (sl 1, p 1)* across to last 2 stitches, k2

Row 3. Knit all stitches.

Row 4. Purl all stitches.

Row 5. K 2, (sl 1, K 1)* across to last 2 stitches, k2

Row 6. K 2, (p 1, sl 1)* across to last 2 stitches, K2

Row 7. k all stitches

Row 8. P all stitches

Work this pattern until the length is equal to the width. Mine is 10 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches, so it's not quite square. It doesn't have to be perfect. I ran out of yarn.

Then you will Knit the last two rows, and then bind off.

I love the way it looks, and it should hold up pretty well. The pattern makes it a little thicker, which I like. The first washcloths I made a long time ago are a little looser and I think I like the thickness better.

I hope you like this pattern. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Have a great week!

Here is the link to it on this website, but you will also be able to find it at All Free Knitting. I'll announce future patterns published there as it happens.

Angel Wing Crocheted Dress Pattern Newborn

I crocheted this cute little Angel Wings Crocheted Dress for Charly's baby, Mia, who has not yet arrived. It came out so cute. I can't wait to see her in it.

Here is the link to the pattern for Angel Wings Pinafore from Bev's Country Cottage. It was a very simple dress to make, I would say it is an intermediate skill level. It is just lots of counting to keep things straight. I would forget to count stitches and have to rip out and go back to fix it, but that's not a big deal.

Angel Wings Crocheted Dress (Newborn)

2 skeins white I love This Cotton

1 H Crochet Hook

6 buttons

I hope you enjoy making this dress for the little girl in your life.

Have fun crocheting.

Mia Grace Baby Blanket and Blog Happenings Update

I have been working on a new pattern for this Mia Grace Baby Blanket. It's named for Charly's baby girl, who will be here sometime in the next month. I am trying to get it done, so that they can take it to the hospital with them to wrap my beautiful little granddaughter in. Once I have finished it, I will post the pattern for all of you. It's pretty simple and works up quickly. Mia's nursery is black, white, and pink, which is why I'm using these colors in the blanket. I will post pictures of the nursery this week. Charly is just putting the last of the babies things away and finishing putting things together and then I will take pictures to show all of you. It's adorable. She and Ryan have done a great job.

I also wanted to post a little update about what is happening on Adorned From Above. I wrote a post several months ago about blogging and trying to find some kind of a balance in my life with blogging. I love blogging, but I have found that it seemed to take over everything, so I am taking a little step back. I will still be posting, but less frequently. I found that I have really missed some of my hobbies that take a little more time. So like with this blanket pattern, I will post a little less often, because some of these things take more time to make. Also, since Charly is having a baby soon, she will be spending more time taking care of Mia and less time on the blog. We will see how much time she feels she can spend blogging once the baby is here.

We can not tell you how much we appreciate the time you take to come by and visit us. We hope you will continue. If you sign up for emails, then when new posts come up they will just show up in your emails rather then you having to check back each day for new posts.

Have a wonderful week.
