Last week I promised you the pattern for a knitted round dishcloth for this weeks Stash Buster Thursday. Even though I have been under the weather this week, I really wanted to get this on here for you. This is a very pretty dishcloth - I have given it as a gift many times, and it has always been a favorite. Some people even said it was too pretty to use as a dishcloth, and they wanted it to be a doily... but it really is a dishcloth! So make a bunch - Mother's Day is coming - great gift idea. Also take some along as a hostess gifts to those summer BBQ's - your hostess will be impressed with your generosity! If you have never knitted something round, you will think this pattern is weird - but believe me, it is very easy and it works out beautifully. I have included a picture of the results of the first 20 rows so you get an idea what it should look like as you work the pattern. Repeating the first 20 rows is what makes the tulip design of the dishcloth and what makes it round. Happy Knitting! KNITTED ROUND DISHCLOTH Materials: Handicrafter Cotton in colour of your choice Size 6 or 7 needles (I used 7's) Cast on 15 stitches. ROW 1: Knit 15 stitches.

ROW 5: Knit back across all stitches. ROW 6: K3, yo, knit until 3 stitches remain on the needle, turn. ROW 7: Knit back across all stitches. ROW 8: Bind off 3 stitches, Knit 2, yo, knit until 4 stitches remain on the needle, turn. ROW 9: Knit back across all stitches. ROW 10: K3, yo, knit until 5 stitches remain on the needle, turn.

Knit all the remaining stitches on the needle (including the last 9) This is what your work should look like after the first 20 rows are done. Starting with ROW 1 again, repeat the 20 rows, (7 times) to make seven patterns. Here is five patterns (rows 1-20 five times)! You can see each completed pattern on this piece. When you have completed rows 1-20, 7 times, bind off all stitches. Sew together, making sure you pull the center tight. Isn't that pretty?
