Yet another in my endless series of simple dishcloth patterns, Little Ladders is based on the slipstitch tweed stitch, with one small modification. After you get a row or two into it, it becomes blissfully mindless. :) Little Ladders Dishcloth I make these dishcloths using worsted weight kitchen cotton and size 8 straight needles, but you can go bigger or smaller easily, as your yarn or gauge calls for. Cast on 40 sts Rows 1-4 - Knit all sts Row 5 and all odd numbered rows - K2 *Sl 1 wyif, K1* to last two sts, K2 Row 6 and all even numbered rows - K2, Purl across to last two sts, K2 Continue repeating as in rows 5 and 6 until the desired length is reached, minus 4 rows. Last 4 Rows - Knit all sts Bind off loosely and weave/tuck loose ends Sl 1 wyif = slip one stitch with your yarn held to the front, as if to purl Knit away and enjoy! Please excuse the less-than-stellar photo quality. I had a sleeping pooch in my lap.
