• Step 1

  Gauge : 20 sts = 4"(but not overly crucial)
  Yarn : approx 50 yards worsted weight cotton
  Needle : US sz 6

  Creates a 7" - 7 1/2" square.

• Step 2

  CO 38 sts.

  Knit 6 rows.

  Work the stitch pattern below until desired length.

  Don't knit a perfect square. Make the dishcloth a little longer than it is wide. It will shrink lengthwise considerably after use.

  k - knit
  yf - bring yarn to front
  sl1 pwise - slip 1 stitch purlwise
  sl2 pwise - slip 2 stitches purlwise

  Row 1 : k4, *k2, yf, sl2 pwise*, rpt from * to * until 6 sts remain, k6
  Row 2 (and all even numbered rows) : k4, p to last 4 sts, k4
  Row 3 : k4, yf, sl1 pwise, *k2, yf, sl1 pwise, *k2, yf, sl2 pwise*, rpt from * to *, until last 5 sts, k5
  Row 5: k4, yf, sl2 pwise, *k2, yf, sl2 pwise*, rpt from * to * until last 4 sts, k4

  The pattern is continued in this fashion, by moving one stitch to teft every right side row.

  K 6 rows. Bind off knit wise.
