Materials: 1 ball worsted weight cotton yarn, size 4mm needles. I used Sugar’n Cream – Landscape for this cloth. I was given the yarn in the Spring Fling swap, thanks so much Andrea. I think this cloth would look great in bright colours, which I may try later…
Instructions:
Cast on 22 stitches.
This cloth is made up of 8 wedges, all exactly the same. Then the edge is sewn together, the threads are sewn in and the cloth is complete. :)
Every wedge:
Row 1 and all odd rows: K across to last 8 stitches, P8.
Row 2: K1, YO, K to last st, turn.
Row 4: K2, YO, K to last 2 sts, turn.
Row 6: K3, YO, K to last 3 sts, turn.
Row 8: K4, YO, K to last 4 sts, turn.
Row 10: K5, YO, K to last 5 sts, turn.
Row 12: K6, YO, K to last 6 sts, turn.
Row 14: Cast off 6 sts, YO, K to last 7 sts, turn.
Row 16: K2, YO, K to last 8 sts, turn.
Row 18: K3, YO, K to last 9 sts, turn.
Row 20: K4, YO, K to last 10 sts, turn.
Row 22: K5, YO, K to last 11 sts, turn.
Row 24: K6, YO, K to last 12 sts, turn.
Row 26: Cast off 6 sts, K to end of row.

I like the look of this. My first round cloth was Aimée’s amāta facecloth (though I used larger needles because my 4mm were already engaged), and I like it very much. I tend to use acrylic yarn for dishcloths, because it makes a great non-scratch scrubber for dishes. Red Heart Super Saver yarn specifically has a harder feel, which makes excellent scrubbing.

This looks like a bit of fun. Something to try out with someone that wants to have a different knitting experience but is afraid!! very nice.
@ Jenny I totally agree about the acrylic for dishes. It does soften to the touch after being washed, but the “scrub-a-bility” is not diminished. For all the yarn snobs here is a convincing use for Acrylic.
