Subject: RE:Dishcloths

Some nice person sent this facecloth pattern to the net a few months ago.
I've done it to death--good mindless knitting.  It would also make a good
dishcloth:

   Cast on 1 st. Knit and increase into this stitch.  Repeat this row until
you have four stitches on your needle.  Then knit 2, YO, K2. Turn and K2,
YO, K, K2.  You are, on every row from now on, going to K2, YO, K across,
for about 50-60 rows.  You will now have a triangle on your needle.  

To decrease:
  K2, YO, K2tog, Knit across to last five sts. K2tog, K3.   Continue thusly
until you have six sts. left on your needle.  Then K2, K2 tog, K2 (4 sts
rem.) . Turn and K2 tog twice for 2 sts. rem. Turn and K2 tog.  Leave about a
12-18" tail and use this to single crochet a loop onto the corner of the
cloth.
