When you want a quick project to make during a 90 minute TV show, try this. It is a dish cloth made with cotton yarn. Knitted on the diagonal using increase & and decrease stitches. Interesting watching it grow on the diagonal to the center as big as you like then decreasing back down.
******************
The directions (in case you can't see them) say:
Materials:
1 Ball of Sugar N Cream (Brand name of a cotton yarn) Must use cotton
Size 9 knitting needle (I actually used 5)
Abbreviations:
K=knit
YO= yarn over
TOG= knit together (I add that info)
Directions:
Cast on 4 stitches
Row 1: K3, YO, K1
Row 2: K3, YO, K to end of row
Repeat Row 2 until 50 stitches on the needle. (32 for small, or 42)
Row 3: K2, K2 TOG, YO, K2 TOG, K to end of row
Repeat Row 3 until 5 stitches on the needle
Bind off
Attach ribbon (I didn't) weaving around the cloth (In the holes) and tie in a bow or knot.
This is the picture of my friend's dish cloth.

Seeing this brought back memories because I made dozens of these back in the day. Haven't made any recently though, so perhaps I will.
ReplyDeleteI love an old handed down pattern like this, sometimes the classic are the best. This will be a feature over at Handmade Monday next week.
