Retro summer dishcloths

Size: 15 cm/6 inch square
Gauge: 22st/10 cm/4 inch
double pointed or cable needles: 4mm

CO 34 stitches in the main colour and knit 4 rows
now slide your knitting to the other end of the needle and start knitting with the contrast colour at the 'wrong' end, your knitting will appear as stockinette for one row. Knit 4 rows in CC.
Slide the knitting over again, the working yarn of the MC and CC will now be on different sides.

Carry the MC yarn up and knit 4 rows.
Slide over.
Carry the CC yarn up on the other side and knit 4 rows.
Continue until you have 7 stripes of each colour.
Then slide over, carry up the MC yarn and knit 5 rows. Bind Off. Sew in ends.

I've used odd balls of cotton, thin cotton held double and thick and thin that actually looks good in garter stripes like this.
Only 4 ends to weave in and neat edges, yay ;-)
