one day….in the not so distant future..(.ok so maybe I’m kidding myself there) I hope to be able to knit like this!!!!
Okay, I am going to try this one (as my third knitting project ever.) It looks so pretty and I think I am starting to understand patterns now… 5sts, that means 5 stitches right?
Re row 11-K 3 , P2K2(P4 K2) repeat 4 times, P2, K3
Row 12 K3, K2, P2, ( k4, p2) REPEAT 4 times, K2. K5
If one does it this way, it comes out like the picture. Not that the original instructions are wrong, just different.
Thank you.
How many do you cast on to begin with?
jlind–Oops. Cast on 36 sts. I’ll go fix that.
Patricia Rowan–Thanks–I’m going to have to put my thinking cap on and see what I’ve done.
Jaspenelle–Yes, and go look now, I’ve come to my senses and put the cast on stitch number. (This one went up kinda fast, may have bugs).
What kind of cast-on do you prefer for dishcloths? I have been using long-tail. I tried a cable cast-on for my last dishcloth and it was too loose, but I’ve found it is perfect for the mini wash mitt. Just wondering what others prefer? And I finally bought myself the Lily Hot Green! Wow is it a great color!! =)
Thanks again!
nancy–I use the long-tail, too.
Hot Green is a happy color!
I knitted my first washcloth this weekend (very basic, just straight stitch). I can only dream of working my way up to THIS work of art!
busywithkids–The secret is that this is just knit and purl. You will be knitting rings around this cloth in no time, mark my words.
