Doin' the Dishes

Over the weekend I started thinking about what I could do to make shorter projects and stumbled across dishcloths.

Materials:

Cotton or Linen (Yarn/String/Twine)

Tools:

Knitting Needles

Abbreviations:

K - Knit

K2TOG - Knit 2 Together

ST(S) - Stich(es)

YO - Yarn Over

I made the pattern detailed here. But any combination of stitches should work. 

Pattern (on the bias)

• Cast on 4 (used the knit-on method)
• K 4
• Increase until desired diagonal achieved (45-65 sts):
• K 2
• YO (increases each time by 1 st)
• K to the end of row
• Decrease until 4 sts remain.
• K 1
• K2TOG (decreases each time by 1 st)
• YO (preserves pattern)
• K2TOG (removes the added st from the YO)
• K to end of row

Observations:

Knitted this with butcher's twine. 

• This was very difficult to work with and tended to split. 
• Next time will try to loosen my tension a little and see if things flow more smoothly.
• Like the texture of the twine on the finished product.

Dropped 1 stitch, will need to sew this back in.
