Free Knitted Dish Towel Pattern

May 9, 2019

free farmhouse knitted dish towel pattern

If you were to ask me what my home decor style is, I would say modern with farmhouse/rustic accents here and there to add a touch of coziness. It is this look that I had in mind when I started to design The Farmhouse free knitted dish towel pattern.

These beginner friendly dish towels are not only stunning to have on display in your kitchen, but they give off a cozy, inviting vibe. And best of all, they are an environmentally friendly alternative to paper towels. So you can knit these up and feel good for doing your part to save our beautiful planet!

My yarn choice for these towels was Knit Picks Dishie Worsted Weight Yarn. Dishie is one of my go to yarns for washcloths and dish towels because they have an incredible colour palette to choose from, and the price can’t be beat for the quality. I have dish cloths from years ago that still look like new every time they come out of the wash. It is honestly so worth it to get excellent quality cotton when making your own dish towels if you want them to work well and last a long time.


I have written out and posted the free pattern for the Farmhouse Dish Towel below on this page.

You may also purchase the ad-free instant download PDF file for easy printing and reading.  Purchasing the PDF file helps to support this website and allows me to continue to share my patterns and inspiration with you. 

Should you have any issues with the download, please email: info@leeleeknits.com for assistance.

      Hi Debbie, the yarn is from Knit Picks (link in materials section). You can only purchase this yarn online, but its worth the wait!

      Hi Demetra, I would suggest around 136 stitches with worsted weight yarn and size 6 needles.

    Thank you so much for your beautiful patterns ! I have made the Farmhouse Dish Towel and it’s perfect. I am a novice knitter and truly appreciate your K/P pattern. I would like to make it twice as wide, can I just cast on 104 stitches ? Really appreciate your help !!

    • Leelee says

      August 1, 2019 at 2:47 pm

      Hi Christa! You’re so welcome! I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the pattern. You need to cast on a multiple of 6 plus 4. The original pattern called for 52 stitches. 52-4=48. So double that and you have 96 stitches. Then add 4, which equals 100 stitches for twice the width.

    I LOVE this quick and easy pattern. As a self-taught lefty ( knit and crochet) I found it easy to adapt to my left style. Can’t wait to make a ton of these as gifts. I can see how you could make matching sets of napkins and place mats with this pattern! So in Love!!

    Hi Alnaar,
    I bought 5 skeins of DISHIE last Fall from KnitPicks and was so busy making other small items and hats. Now I can make the ‘dish cloths’ starting this weekend. This is my plan. Also the cable socks. Take a break with something NEW from you.
    Thank you for sending me patterns.
    Keep creating in cold Cananda

      I don’t have a matching pattern, but you can make it shorter by knitting less rows for the middle secion.

      Hi Deborah, a dish cloth would just be square shaped, so I recommend knitting fewer rows for the mid section.

    a follow up question…… when you say do 4 rows of the “seed stitch”, does that mean do Row 1, Row 2, Row 1, Row 2 or does it mean you do Row 1, Row 2, Row 1, Row 2, Row 1, Row 2, Row 1, Row 2?

    Reply
    • Leelee says

      February 2, 2021 at 2:16 pm

      Hi Tami, it means to do exactly 4 rows ( Row 1, Row 2, Row 1, Row 2 )
