Handmade Christmas con't ...


Knitted Wash Cloth

Size 8US (5mm) knitting needles
Lily Cotton yarn

Cast on 4 stitches
row 1: Knit across
row 2: K2 YO K to end (increasing)
Continue row 2 until you have 45 stitches (to make bigger increase by multiples of 5, I like 55).

Next row after you've reached 45 st: K1 K2tog K to end (decreasing)
Continue decreasing until you have 4 st, K2tog, K2tog

Weave in your ends.
And ... you have a completed wash cloth.

This wash cloth makes an excellent Christmas gift, especially when you do them in colors to match the giftee's kitchen. (This one was made from scrap yarn from another gift). Enjoy!
