"I have been knitting for 52 years and there is something very wrong with these directions. Has anyone been able to get past the first pattern row? I have taken it out so many times the yarn is wore out."

"The Sl1K. K2tog. psso will actually decrease it by 2 stitches you slip a stitch as if to knit, then knit 2 together, then pass that slipped stitch over. So it first decreases by 1 when you knit the two stitches together because 2 become one. Then when you pass that slipped stitch over the stitch where you knit the two together then OFF the needle you have decreased that slipped stitch too. So that decrease takes off two stitches which makes up for the two increases (yfwd) in the repeating pattern."

"This free knitted washcloth pattern brings together everything to love about hand knit washcloths. It's squishy and absorbent, extra pretty with that lovely lace inset, works well with variegated yarns, and all those little garter bumps make it extra scrubby for just the right amount of cleansing action. If you've been wanting to try knitting lace, this simple seven stitch repeat is a great way to start."

Diagonal wash or dish cloths are my go to when I want something simple and useful to knit. With the little twist of the center band of lace, this is perfect for those times. The lace here is easy to do but it makes all the difference in the way the cloth looks. Now I am thinking of other stitches to try in the center!

This is a pretty variation on the traditional diagonal wash cloth. It adds a little more interest and texture to the appearance. It would look fabulous in pastels like aqua or peach, or maybe off white or sand. I wouldn't try it in a self patterning yarn because you'd lose the stand out look of the lace in the center.

Love this pattern for its simplicity yet it looks great. I have been making the diagonal wash cloths for years but they are plain but functional. These will make great gifts with nice fancy soap to go with them.
