Work
to desired length, I repeated the 12 row set 1 more time & rows 1-8 an
additional time. Bind off and weave in ends.
You
can make into a cloth by adding more stitches to cast on. You may want to
increase the border stitches to 3 on each end and increasing the pattern
stitches to 36 + 6 border = 42 stitches.
