Seed Stitch Knit Dish Towel

Seed Stitch Knit Dish Towel

Add handmade charm to your kitchen with this absorbent and textured seed stitch dish towel. The bumpy surface makes it perfect for drying dishes or hands, and it’s a relaxing, repetitive knit that suits beginners perfectly.

Materials
– 100% cotton worsted weight yarn (approx. 100g)
– 4.5 mm knitting needles
– Tapestry needle
– Scissors
– Blocking mat (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cast On: 51 stitches (an odd number is essential).

  2. Seed Stitch Pattern:

    • Row 1: K1, P1 repeat to last st, K1.

    • Row 2: P1, K1 repeat to last st, P1.

  3. Repeat these two rows until the towel measures approx. 40–45 cm.

  4. Bind Off: In pattern — knit the knits and purl the purls.

  5. Finishing: Weave in ends. Optionally block to even out the texture.

How To

  1. Why Odd Cast-On? Ensures stitches alternate on every row for full texture.

  2. Avoid Curling: Seed stitch lies flat naturally — no edge treatment needed.

  3. Best Yarn: Choose sturdy cotton for durability and water absorption.

  4. Pattern Memory: Easy to memorize after a few rows — perfect for TV knitting.

  5. Gift Tip: Knit a matching set with dishcloths for a thoughtful handmade bundle.
