BFF's

BFF WASHCLOTH
This is my first official design.  I had searched on Ravelry and found nothing like this as I am doing a craft fair in October and did not want to steal anyone else's designs.  I had 2 testers knit this up for me 1 of them was a beginner and neither had a problem with the pattern.



Yarn: Lily Sugar n’ Cream Solid

Needles: Size 6 US or size needed to obtain gauge

Gauge: 5 stitches = 1 inch

Abbreviations: yf: Yarn Forward

                      Sl1k: Slip 1 stitch knit-wise

                      K: knit

                      P: purl

                     PM: Place Marker



Please keep in mind that this is a dishcloth so gauge is not horribly important. I try to use size 6 as much as possible because I LOVE my Signature Circulars!



Cast on 38 stitches using your preferred cast on method. Markers will be placed just to let you know where the edge stitches align. Slip the markers in each row. Please note that the stitch markers are not required to complete the pattern they serve as a guide for the working area of the pattern.


Pattern



Rows 1-5 Knit to last stitch. Bring yarn to the front of your work and slip the last stitch as if to knit (yf sl1k) this technique will be used at the end of every row in order to make your edges look neat.
