The latest in my so-easy-you-can-knit-with-swarming-kids dish/washcloth series. If you can knit and purl, you can knit this hanging upside down from the monkey bars.
The name . . . I have friends who speak Castilian Spanish and I love the way they pronounce some of their “s” sounds. LOVE IT. I could listen to them talk all day even though I don’t know what they’re saying. So Andalutheea is sort of how it sounds to me when they pronounce Andalusia, which happens to be the name of this stitch.

Beautiful. Love the color and close knitted weave pattern.
thanks i wanted to start this immediately. just wanted to ask, what ply wool?
rolls–I use worsted weight cotton.
Going to get started on this while listening to my son practice his chords on the piano tonight. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for yet another beautiful and stress free pattern!! SD Miracle
This caught my eye not only because I love to knit washcloths and give them as gifts (with a nice artisan soap tucked inside) but also because I spent my junior year of college in Spain. Oh, how I miss Spain and yes, I’m in agreement regarding the pronunciation of Castilian Spanish. So lovely.
This pattern will make nice stocking stuffers for Christmas. Thanks!
Your blog simply makes me happy. thank you.
Sherri Hinkle–You’ve made my day. Thank you, dear person.
I love you site! Found it on Stumble! <3
This is my all time favorite washcloth to knit. Thank you so much.
Mary–Thank you! I’m so glad!
Thank you!
I have been out of the knitting game for so long (since I got pregnant and knitting made me seasick/carsick while not on the sea or car). I found a link through moneysavingmom.com so I came over to find out what she was planning on making and now I am going to add it to my list. I have some of the yarn upstairs and I am going to try to make one of these this week while my son is in preschool. I always did the same pattern on dishclothes so I can’t wait to try something new
THANKS!!!
Alison P–Seriously? You are the only other person I’ve heard of (besides myself) who got sick from knitting while pregnant! I couldn’t even look at sweaters. What is that???
I have to thank you for this wonderful dishcloth pattern!! A friend turned me on to a pattern for an all knitted dishtowel and this will be its companion dishcloth. Have already made three of each in preparation for Christmas gifts. Thank you again! Cheers to you
Angie Boes–Thank you! I’m very happy you like it!
In your last statement you said to knit all for 3 rows. Do you mean to begin with row 1 and repeat all rows for 3 times? Sorry, but I am confused as to what you are saying. The cloth is lovely. Thanks,
Judy
Judy Blake–Just knit for three rows. Hope that clears it up. Let me know if it’s still confusing.
you mean you love it when they pronounce their c sounds
So simple and beautiful, love it. Thank you.
Thank you for your amazing patterns! I have been knitting a dishcloth a night. I’ve tried this one, Bubbles, and Good Grief. I even blogged about it
Your blog is so inspirational! Thanks again.
