Is there a knitter out there that hasn't knit a dishcloth? Not many, I'm sure. But how many knitters have knit a face cloth or spa cloth? With Christmas right around the corner or when a special little gift is needed, why not have a few of these beautiful little cloths and some nice soap tucked away, ready to drop into a lovely little bag at a moments notice. Of course, not just any dishcloth cotton would do for such a special gift, now would it? I know you would want an especially soft cotton. Here at Have a Yarn we have Berroco's Pure Pima, a 100% cotton in almost any color of the rainbow. So soft and shimmering that you would think it's silk. Perfect! And now I would like to share with you 3 of my favorite stitch patterns. These patterns are so quick and simple, you could easily knit a couple cloths in an evening and have them on hand for that unexpected emergency. Use these patterns to make a scarf, make a cowl, make place mats or to add interest to the cuffs and waist band of your next sweater. Be creative! The Textured CO an even # of sts. Row 1: RS, *Slip 1, as to purl, K1, YO, pass slip stitch over the Knit stitch and the YO*. Repeat * to * to end of row. Row 2: WS, Purl Repeat these 2 rows to the desired length. Bind off.
