I recently taught myself how to make knitting patterns on graph paper. Other than headbands, I've been addicted to knitting dish/wash cloths. As a cool project we can all do together, I've decided to start a sort of mystery cloth. No pictures, just a few directions once a week. It's a pretty simple pattern, just knit and purl. You can use them as washcloths in the shower or when giving your child a bath. You can also use it in the kitchen as a dishcloth, towel, or cleaning rag. They really are so versatile!
BEFORE YOU GET GET STARTED
What you'll need is:
size 3 needles
color of choice cotton yarn (any is fine, I prefer to use Lily Sugar'n Cream yarn. ) You can get it at ACMoore or Michael's or any craft store in your area.
