In this video, we get started on a quick project to practice the Portuguese knitting style. This pattern is written especially for Portuguese Knitting, because the garter stitch is worked by purling every row. You can get the other version of this pattern (knit every row) here. This video is sponsored by Knitter’s Pride.
This pattern is a FREE RAVELRY DOWNLOAD.

The Knitter’s Pride Platina single-pointed needles I use in the video can be found here.
The yarn I used for demonstration and in my dishcloths is Knit Picks Comfy Worsted.
The nail polish I’m wearing is by Julep, color “Lorraine”.
In all these years, I’ve never thought of a Garter Stitch worked with PURL every row! I can’t wait to try this!
Thank you, Staci! 🙂
Hello!
Thank you for the wonderful video! I made the dish cloth while learning new skills. I was wondering if the rectangle dish cloth could be modified to make a baby blanket? I can’t find a baby blanket ‘for beginners’ anywhere!
Thank you
Pamela
Pamela – yes, you can make any size rectangle or square using this pattern, from dishcloth size to blanket size.
