Bev's FAVE KNIT DISHCLOTH Blanket
© Beverly A. Qualheim
Size
9
circular needles and baby
yarn
or Caron Simply Soft yarn (still working on blanket so not sure how
much is needed)Cast on 4 stitches
Knit 2, yarn over^ to make an increase, knit to end of row
Repeat that row until blanket sides reach at least 32"
Decrease: Knit 1, knit 2 together, yarn over, knit 2 together, knit to end of row. (HINT: When you K2 together, be sure to go into the front of the sts and not the back. Just looks nicer.)
Repeat until 4 sts on needle
Bind off and weave in all ends. This looks pretty if you change colors, use up your scraps too!
Reader ksinmi's Idea: (You could add a hood here if you wish by starting to increase here again till you reach the size hood you want on the blanket, Then simply bind off and whip stitch the seam up the sides to form a hood)
