This is my 2nd discloth, knitted from the oh-so-easy pattern found in the knitting book, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Knitting & Crocheting. I have found this pattern all over, so I don't know who the original "owner" is. Use a needle sized 6 - 9. I've used 9 so far. co4, k 1 row Next row, k2 inc in next st, k1 Next row, k2,yo,k to end of row Repeat the k2, yo, k until you have 45sts on the needle Next row, k1, k2Tog, yo, k2Tog, k to end of row Continue to do this , decreasing each row until 5 stitches are left. Then, k2, k2Tog, k1. Bind off the 4 sts. It is so easy. I've used some cheap yarn and it's wonderful to do while watching television. Not too much thinking to it. They wash up great and are very durable. Helen made a cushion from this pattern. She wrote:  This cushion was knitted on 6mm needles and I used 3 strands of aran thickness wool together. The square was 43 stitches across at the widest point. I have a very limited amount of wool available and actually didn't have any left over for sewing the 2 squares together. Luckly I had some similar wool available for that part. you may have noticed that the border that is knitted with the square makes a nice little lacy part. This made it easier to sew together, as I just used a crocheting hook to thread the wool through the holes. I knotted the wool between the edging when I finished sewing. The cushion is small, so I had to make an insert for it myself. I am now currently knitting a coffee coloured one for my friend.
 Norah, a member of The Yarn Spinners of St. Patrick, a prayer shawl ministry, said this: A group of women in my church are involved in a prayer shawl ministry and decided to broaden our reach to new babies baptised into our congregation. We make 6 inch squares in various patterns, then sew them together to make a nap blanket. This washcloth pattern has become one of the favorites. It goes so fast!
