For this week's cloth I decided to use the Diagonal Braid stitch and turn it into a dishcloth. I was so pleased with it that I wanted to share the stitch pattern with you.
Diagonal Braid Stitch
Yarn 50 grams dishcloth cotton (Dishie or Berrnat Handicrafter)
Needle 3.75 mm or 4 mm or 4.5 mm (I prefer a smaller needle to make a tighter fabric)
Cast on 36 sts (or any multiple of 4 sts )
Row 1 - *k2, p2* repeat to end of row
Row 2 - *k2, p2* repeat to end of row
Row 3 - *p1, k2, p1* repeat to end of row
Row 4 - *k1, p2, k1* repeat to end of row
Row 5 - *p2, k2* repeat to end of row
Row 6 - *p2, k2* repeat to end of row
Row 7 - *k1, p2, k1* repeat to end of row
Row 8 - *p1, k2, p1* repeat to end of row
Repeat these 8 rows until desired length
Cast off in pattern
I hope you enjoy
