keeping busy
with granma stuff
knitting and sewing
in between working
for a living, I am
practicing for
retirement
getting my fiber fix
in 2 ounce batches
of soft cotton yarn
keeps my hands busy
away from keyboard and
snacks
and housework
I love this cattywampus dishcloth pattern, it is so much fun to make. By now I should have a big stack of these, but I keep giving them away!
knitted dishcloth
Size 7 or 8 needles
Cast on 3 stitches and knit
one row. Increase one stitch at the center of each row until you have 7
stitches.
Next rows: K3, YO, knit across. Repeat until you have
45-50 stitches on the needle.
Next rows: K2 , K2tog, YO,
K2tog, knit across until you only have 7 stitches remaining.
Decrease on stitch at the center of each row until you have
4 st.
Cut yarn and pull the tail through those 4 st with a crochet
hook.
Split yarn and pull half through another st and tie the 2
ends in a double knot. Weave in ends.
