Tues Tutorial~ Knitted Diagonal Dish Cloth

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.

Sum of their Stories

 

The directions were passed on to me from our Needlework group leader. She made a picture of the well worn directions and sent it along with a picture of a dish cloth she had made. Always like to see what the end result is supposed to look like.

 

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.
