Port Lavaca and Borger Dishcloth Patterns
©2022 Texas Knit ‘Em
Discover the beauty of Texas-inspired knitting with our showy dishcloth and face cloth patterns! This knitting set features two unique stitch patterns that utilize only basic knit and purl stitches, making it an ideal choice for advancing new knitters looking to enhance their skills. The comprehensive instructions are both written and charted for easy following, ensuring a smooth knitting experience. For optimal absorbency and durability, we recommend using 100% cotton worsted weight yarn. These dishcloth patterns are designed to produce a dense fabric that holds up well to daily use, making them perfect for your kitchen or as thoughtful gifts!
Both designs are reversible, allowing you to choose between two beautiful sides. It's hard to pick which design is the prettiest! Why not make both?
The Port Lavaca dishcloth is inspired by the picturesque coastal town of Port Lavaca on Texas' Gulf Coast, located on the west side of Lavaca Bay, which is an arm of Matagorda Bay. In contrast, the Borger dishcloth draws inspiration from the vibrant city of Borger in the Texas Panhandle. Known for its resilience through various oil booms and busts, Borger adds a touch of rich history to this pattern set. While Port Lavaca and Borger are similar in size and character, their starkly different geographical regions—700 miles apart—highlight the diversity of Texas, USA. Embrace this unique blend of culture and creativity through your knitting journey!
