Seed Stitch Washcloths

Seed Stitch Washcloths:

This is a simple pattern that you can alter as needed.

Materials:

Red Heart Supersaver Yarn (two colors)
Size US 6 straight needles
4.0 mm crochet hook

Pattern Rating:

Beginner

Gauge:

Very non-critical for this project. Just cast on an odd number of stitches. You can vary the size of needles to achieve a looser effect on the stitches.

Instructions:

CO 35 stitches using the Old Norweigan CO method.
All rows: [k1, p1] repeat to end, k1.
Once your knitted piece is a square, BO in knit.
Sew in loose ends.
For the crocheted edges, take your second color, start in one of the corners and apply a half-double crochet stitch in each of the stitches over all ends.
For the corners, do two half-double crochet stitches in each corner knit stitch.
Finish with a slip stitch and cut a tail. Sew in the loose ends.

Alternate Instructions:

If you don't know how to do the Old Norweigan CO and you don't want to learn, cast on using any method you'd like. Change your bind off method to binding off in pattern (knit the knits and purl the purls).

And now you'll have a washcloth! You can make these out of any worsted weight yarn that's washable (otherwise that defeats the purpose of a washcloth, doesn't it?)...
