What's Been on my Needles ....


More dishcloths!  I've been needing small portable projects and these can't be beat for that.  And to make it easy to keep track of where I am, I did them all in knit stitch - and then added two rows of crochet on the edges to give a nice finished look and to add a little more color on some of them.  

Materials:
*KnitPicks Cotlin cotton/linen blend
*size 4 knitting needles
*size E crochet hook

Solid colored:
Cast on 50 stitches and work in knit stitch until you have a square - about 10 inches worth.  Add two rows of single stitch crochet (3 stitches in each corner) in different colors.


Striped:
Three colors - A, B, and C
Cast on 50 stitches in A and work 10 rows in knit stitch.
Add B and work 5 rows.
Add C and work 4 rows.
Work 5 more rows of B.
Repeat this three more times, then finish with 10 rows of A.
Add two rows of single stitch crochet (3 stitches in each corner) in A.


I'm off to finish this one!


Happy Creating!  Deborah
