Copyright ©
Janet Nogle 2016
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Materials:
1 Skein of Cotton yarn
#6 Knitting Needle
Cast on: Multiple of 15 + Border (15 + 4 = 19)
Cast on: 19
Border:
Row 1-2: Knit
across.
Pattern:
Row 1: (RS)
K2, *P1, K4*; repeat between *’s, end K2
Row 2: (WS)
K2, *P3, K2*; repeat between *’s, end K2.
Row 3: K2,
*P3, K2*; repeat between *’s, end, K2.
Row 4: K2,
*P1, K4*; repeat between *’s, end K2.
Row 5: K2,
*K1, P4*; repeat between *’s, end K2.
Row 6: K2,
*K3, P2*; repeat between *’s, end K2.
Row 7: K2,
*K3, P2*; repeat between *’s, end K2.
Row 8: K2,
*K1, P4*; repeat between *’s, end K2.
Repeat rows 1-8 for
pattern till desired length. I repeated
rows 1 x 8 three more times.
Border:
Row 1-2: Knit
across.
Bind off
Weave in ends.
Diagonal Check Dishcloth:
This makes a great
cloth because it looks the same on both sides so there really isn’t a wrong
side like usual.
I would Cast On 38
for washcloth (15 X 2 = 30 = 8 Border = 38)
Work rows 1-8 as
documented above only change border stitches to 4 stitches for each side.
