This weeks dishcloth was a simple basketweave pattern.
This was a very simple pattern Here it is if anyone were to want to create it (K=knit, P=purl).
First, I cast on 32 stitches.
Row 1-4: knit all for a garter stitch edging
Rows 5-8: K8, P4, K4, P4, K4, P4, K4
Rows 9-12: K4, P4, K4, P4, K4, P4, K8
Rows 13-16: K8, P4, K4, P4, K4, P4, K4
Rows 17-20: K4, P4, K4, P4, K4, P4, K8
Rows 21-24: K8, P4, K4, P4, K4, P4, K4
Rows 25-28: K4, P4, K4, P4, K4, P4, K8
Rows 29-32: K8, P4, K4, P4, K4, P4, K4
Rows 33-36: K4, P4, K4, P4, K4, P4, K8
Rows 37-40: K8, P4, K4, P4, K4, P4, K4
Rows 41-44: knit all for a garter stitch edging
That’s it. This pattern became pretty simple and I was able to use the row I had just knitted to determine my next stitch. Happy knitting
What kind of yarn and what size knitting needles?
I used Peaches and Crème 100% cotton yarn. This yarn has been discontinued, but several other brands do have a 100% cotton yarn. Dishcloths made from cotton yarn stand up better. For this project I used a #6 (4mm) knitting needle.
