I am in search of dish rag patterns. I had one that was worked from corner to corner, but the lady that sent it to me must have missed a step because this one only makes a bookmark. I lost touch with her.
Any fairly simple paterns ( for a simple minded girl! :D)
Are much appreciated!:D

Here is a pretty easy one, this came from Leisure Arts book #3049.

Here's the one I use:

Cast on 4 stitches.

Row 1: Knit across

Row 2: Knit 2, yarn over, knit to end of row.

Repeat row 2 until there are 42 stitches on the needle.

Decrease row: Knit 1, knit 2 together, yarn over, knit 2 together, knit to end of row.

Repeat Decrease rov until there are 5 stitches left. Knit across and then cast off.

Work in all lose ends.
