idiots dish cloth



I'm starting to knit dish cloths. i remember a pattern my mother taught me. i have no idea where she got this pattern or if she made it up her self i just remember using it as a child. and it is as follows:

used size 6 needles

cast on 4 stitches

knit 4 rows

pattern stitches

row 1: k2, yo knit to end, every row for 40 rows

row 41: k1, k2tog, yo, k2tog, knit to end until you have 4 stitches left

knit 4 rows, cast off, weave in ends.

these knit up really fast. they make nice dish cloths, with a simple detail. they are so easy i used to make them when i was learning to knit. so for all the young knitters, there is something they can work on and it's still functional if they don't get it exactly right. something you can use around the house, and every time you do they can be proud of themselves.
