This was a simple washcloth that I made as punishment to the yarn for not acting right in another garment I was trying to use it for. (Yes, I punish my yarn when it acts bad. Let this be a lesson to all other yarns in my stash. Don't make me angry!)
Well, despite the initial reason for using the yarn, I must admit that the washcloth came out looking really nice. So if you are looking for a quick knit gift item or just something to do with an odd ball of cotton yarn, well, here you go:
Materials-
1 ball patons Grace, 1.75 oz / 50 g, 6136 yd / 125 m 100% ultra-soft mercerized cotton, color 62901 Tangelo
US size 2 knitting needles
Cast on 48 stitches.
Garter stitch the first 3 rows.
Row1-4: Knit
Row 5-8: Purl
Continue rows 1 through 8 until you reach your desired length or the washcloth measures 7 inches without being pulled.
Gater stitch the next 3 rows. Bind off. Weave in ends.
The washcloth should have a nice ridged look to it that will soften a bit with use.
Now, go fourth and clean thy self!

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear that you couldn't get the pattern on your computer. I've been away on vacation and didn't see your comment until now. I do hope that somehow you were able to get the patten.
