Eyelet Cotton Cloth

As promised, here is my personally designed pattern for an eyelet hole cotton dish cloth.  Enjoy!

Using Sugar & Cream 100% cotton yarn.  1/2 skein in color of choice.

CO 34 st., size 8 needles

Row 1: *(K1, P1), *repeat until end of row
Row 2: *(P1, K1), *repeat until end of row
Row 3-4: Repeat above two rows
Row 5: (K1, P1) 2 times, K1 to last 3 stitches, P1, K1, P1
Row 6: (P1, K1) 2 times, P1 to last 3 stitches, K1, P1, K1
Row 7: (K1, P1) 2 times, *(K2, YO, K2tog), *repeat until last 6 stitches, K2, (K1,P1) 2 times
Row 8: (P1, K1) 2 times, P1 until last 3 stitches, K1, P1, K1
Row 9: (K1, P1) 2 times, K1 until last 3 stitches, K1, P1, K1
Row 10: (P1, K1) 2 times, P1 until last 3 stitches, K1, P1, K1

Repeat rows 7-10 until the entire project measures approx. 6 inches lengthwise.

To finish, repeat rows 1-4.  Bind off and weave loose strings of yarn back into the project.

Voilà!  Your very own cotton eyelet dish cloth!

To prevent curling when finished, block with a hot iron and a damp towel/cloth: wet a cloth/towel and wring it until it just just damp.  Place over the flattened knit cloth.  Use a hot iron and go over the entire area until all of the covered knit cloth have been ironed.

Recommended care: Wash in cold water, tumble dry low-medium.  They actually work best after having been washed a few times and hold up well to the washing machine and dryer, so don't be afraid to use them!
