Foaming Waves Dishclothy
These dishcloths come in two sizes, and please don't let their elegant appearance fool you, they are quite up to washing dishes. Along with fancy soap, they would also make a tasteful housewarming gift. Note: This pattern has directions for two sizes, which measure approximately $6.75^{\prime\prime}$ $(9.00^{\prime\prime})$ . Overall directions apply to both cloths, with changes for the larger cloth in parentheses.
Lace Motif (without border stitches) Multiple of $^{12+1}$ Rows 1-8: 1st row (right side): K1, "[k2tog] twice, [yo, k1] 3 times, yo, [sl 1, k1, psso] twice, k1; repeat from \* to end. 2nd row: Purl Repeat rows 1 & 2 for 3 times more (8 rows total). Rows 9-12: Knit 4 rows Repeat these 12 rows. Needles: Size 6 Cast on 31 (43) stitches Knit 6 rows Optional: Knit to last stitch; bring yarn to front; and slip last stitch as if to purl. Turn and knit the first stitch through the back loop. Maintain this process throughout the cloth for a nice clean edge as pictured in the samples. Begin pattern (includes border stitches): $1^{\mathrm{st}}$ row (right side): K4, “[k2tog] twice, [yo, k1] 3 times, yo, [sl1, 1, psso] twice, k1; repeat from \* to last 3 stitches, k3. $2^{\mathsf{n d}}$ row: K3, purl to last 3 stitches, K3 Rows 4-8: Repeat the last 2 rows 3 times more (8 rows total). Knit 4 rows. Repeat rows 1-12, 3 times (4 times) Top border: Knit 5 rows Bind off loosely (I used a size 10 needle to ensure this). Block lightly, if you wish (or if you plan to take pictures). $\circledcirc$ Copyright NettieDiLorenzo 2009 http://nettieknits1.wordpress.com or Ravelry: Nettieknits All rights reserved.
