Grandmother's Favorite Dishcloth
Designer: Unknown
The cloth in this photo was stitched by
Joyce Skeens. Thanks to Knitting Exchange
for letting me post it on this site.
Rating: 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 on the needle.
You can now 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.

Contributor's Note: My grandmother found out that I had learned to knit. She called me
up to ask me if I would knit her some dishcloths. I told her I would, but I had never made
any (so I needed a pattern). She explained that her older sister, Thelma (who is 99 this
year), had always made these for the family and sent me a box with the pattern and a whole
bunch of the "Sugar and Cream " yarn. The pattern goes so quick, that I have made some
for, well, everyone in the family.
Wendy's Warning: None of my friends had ever used one of these cloths before, and once
you give one away and they find out that you can Scrub Glass with one, you will be knitting
these things for the rest of your life. Just ask Great Aunt Thelma!

stitch, pick up the wrap and slip the stitch back to left-hand needle.  Knit stitch and wrap
together.

This forms one wedge.  Knit either five or six more, depending on your yarn, until the cloth
can be formed into a circle.  You can either seam the two edges or do the garter stitch
kitchener join.  This is simply kitchener stitch, with the back needle worked the same as the
front needle.  You can use kitchener with both cast ons; I'm experimenting to see which
works best.

You can make this cloth smaller by casting on less stitches, but no less than 15.
