Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cast On
Begin by casting on 40 stitches using your US 7 (4.5mm) knitting needles. Ensure that your stitches are not too tight to allow for comfortable knitting.
2. Create the Border
To form a neat border, follow these rows:
- Row 1 (Right Side): *K2, p2; repeat from * to end.
- Row 2 (Wrong Side): *P2, k2; repeat from * to end.
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 for a total of 4 rows to create a border around your washcloth.
3. Begin Lattice Pattern
Now, we will start the lattice pattern. Follow these instructions closely:
- Row 5 (Right Side): K2, *sl 1 wyib, k1, yo, k1, pass slipped stitch over last 3 sts; repeat from * to last 2 sts, k2.
- Row 6 (Wrong Side): P2, *p3, k1; repeat from * to last 2 sts, p2.
- Row 7 (Right Side): K2, *k1, yo, sl 1 wyib, k2, pass slipped stitch over last 3 sts; repeat from * to last 2 sts, k2.
- Row 8 (Wrong Side): P2, *k1, p3; repeat from * to last 2 sts, p2.
Continue repeating Rows 5-8 until your piece measures approximately 8 inches from the cast-on edge, making sure to end with Row 8.
4. Finish with a Border
To complete your washcloth, you will need to create another border:
- Repeat Rows 1 and 2 for a total of 4 rows.
5. Bind Off
Once you have completed the final border, bind off your stitches in pattern to maintain the elasticity of the edges.
6. Weave in Ends
Finally, use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends, ensuring that your washcloth looks neat and polished.
