Knitted Dishcloths

I just LOVE these dishcloths and enjoy making them for others. They are very simple so make a perfect project for a beginning knitter!

Difficulty Level: Easy
Materials: Sugar and Cream Yarn; Size 6 or 7 needles (US)

Instructions:

Cast on 4 stitches

Row 1: Knit 4

Row 2: Knit 2, yarn over, knit across the row.

Repeat Row 2 until you have 44 stitches on the needle.

Row 3: Knit 1, Knit 2 together, yarn over, knit 2 together, knit to the end of the row.

Repeat Row 3 until you have 4 stitches left on the needle.

You can either bind off or do a round of single crochet and make a little loop of chain stitches in one corner so you can hang the cloth to dry when you are finished using it.
