Spring Knitting

The greatest part about knitting dishcloths is that they require very little brain energy.  If spring is as busy for you as it is around here, mindless knitting can be a great stress reliever.  Not to mention, you'll have a pile of beautiful hand made gifts for showers, birthdays, mother's day, or just to give to your friends to show them how much you love them. 

Pattern:  Row 1: K4, Row 2: K2 YO knit 2, Row 3: K2 YO K to the end.  You will increase (YO) until you have 45 stitches, then K1, K2tog, YoK2tog, K to the end of the row.  Do this until you have 5 stitches left, then K2, K2tog, K to the end.  When you have 4 stitches left, bind off.  That's it!   Pick a fun color and go to town!  One skewn makes about 1 1/2 clothes so I buy 2 skewns to make 3 cloths.  Use Sugar n' Cream 100% cotton yarn.
