Bordered Heart-shaped Dishcloth

This was a handout from a craft store. I have no idea where I got it – found it in a bunch of my crafty papers I was going through.  I have had it a LONG time – and no name on it….so I will copy it here. Free pattern. It was free for me and looks like it’s been around a long time!
I think it would look better in a solid color.   View Solid Color Here

  1. I believe that there is a problem with the row after the 15 decreasing rows?? There aren’t enough stiches to have 18 stitches left to move off the needle. Is there something I am missing?

  2. A fast, easy pattern. I knitted 2 together twice at the end of the row to get 18 stitches on the left needle. The right needle had 17 stitches. It worked.

  4. Thanks for sharing this pattern! I made a whole batch of these & paired them with some handmade soaps from Etsy to give “Sweet Spa” valentines to family & friends this year. :)

    I used the called for needles size – since they are a looser knit they are definitely face cloths instead of dishcloths. So quick & easy – I see more of these in the future!

  5. I love this pattern!

  6. I question the size 10 needle.if I use sugar and cream I do not use any needle large than 7

    • Eileen: I agree!…this pattern is not mine to change…I just copied a vintage pattern word for word. It makes a very loose soft cloth instead of a stiff close-knit cloth. It is totally up to the knitter to use a different size needle, I have noticed alot of people use a size 9 on down to a 7 as you and I like to do. It will just make a different feel and size heart and totally OK.

  7. Thank you so much for the pattern! I will be making this soon!
