This kitchen towel knitting pattern is based off of my favorite dishcloth pattern. It’s pretty simple to knit, and this pattern is free!
This pattern makes a rectangular knitted “cloth,” which can also work as a table runner or doily of sorts.
If you want to use this as an actual kitchen towel, you can add buttons to hang it on your oven door or towel rack.
The possibilities are endless for this knitted kitchen towel!
How Do You Knit a Kitchen Towel?
This kitchen towel is based off of the classic dishcloth pattern called Grandmother’s Favorite Dishcloth.

That favorite basic dishcloth pattern is a square, but now it has been slightly altered to make it a rectangular shape.
I used cotton yarn (just like I usually use for the dishcloths), and size 7 knitting needles.
