Knitted Dishcloth/Washcloth Pattern

I have had a few requests for the knitted dishcloth pattern.  I sell these at the Farmer's Market and our family store site (new site under construction).

I've adjusted it to the size that I like, but you can do the same as well.

Note: for dishcloth I knit to 52 on my needle, for a larger dishcloth or washcloth, knit 72


This is not my pattern, and I will be honest, I do not remember where I got it.  I have no notes on this pattern.  I'll try to be better and writing down book titles, Web sites, etc.  I do know that I have had it for a few years now.

Pattern:

Cast on 4 stitches

Rows 1-2: Knit

Row 3: Knit 2, yarn over, knit across row.
Repeat until you have the desired number of stitches (original pattern stated 42 stitches, but I found these too small)  See above note:  52 for dishcloth and 72 for a large rag

Once you have the desired amount of stitches on your needle:  Knit 2, turn, Knit 2, turn, Knit 1, Knit 2 together, yarn over, Knit 2 together, Knit to end of row.

Next row:  Knit 2, turn, Knit 2, turn, Knit 1, Knit 2 together, yarn over, Knit 2 together, Knit to end of row.

Next row: Knit 1, Knit 2 together, yarn over, Knit 2 together, Knit to end of row.  Repeat until you have 4 stitches left on your needle.

Last row: Knit 4

Bind off.
