Materials: 1 ball worsted weight cotton yarn, size 4mm needles. I used Sugar’nCream Summer Prints for this cloth, which gave it a lovely effect – it’s a variegated yarn.
Instructions:
Cast on 12 stitches.
This cloth is made up of 7 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.
Row 2: K3, YO, K to last st, turn.
Row 4: K3, YO, K to last 2 sts, turn.
Row 6: K3, YO, K to last 3 sts, turn.
Row 8: K3, YO, K to last 4 sts, turn.
Row 10: K3, YO, K to last 5 sts, turn.
Row 12: K3, YO, K to last 6 sts, turn.
Row 14: K3, YO, K to last 7 sts, turn.
Row 16: K3, YO, K to last 8 sts, turn.
Row 18: K3, YO, K to last 9 sts, turn.
Row 20: Cast off 9 sts, K to end of row.
This cloth is very similar to the starfish cloth, but with smaller wedges. This makes the cloth smaller and perfect for a baby washcloth! :)

I like this pattern, but I’m finding it a bit confusing. Please read row 20. Do I put those last stitches on a holder or knit them off? I think the pattern is missing a few steps. Thank you
-
ok, figured out most of the pattern. I’m at the end and just like Donna Boots I’m wondering what to do with the live stitches at the end?? Put them on a stitch holder?? Bind them off?? Does anyone out there have an answer?? Thank you so much to anyone that posts the resolve so I can put this precious little star together!!!

Hi Bonnie & anyone else struggling with ending the pattern,
There are two ways to finish the cloth – you either bind off the stitches on the LAST wedge and stitch the last and first wedge together or you can join them using kitchener stitch (look on you-tube for a tutorial video – I find that’s the easiest way to learn.
Sorry there was no explanation on here, like you say Bonnie, I usually reply to comments by email, because I know that wordpress doesn’t notify commenters that there has been a reply to their comment (unless you have a plug-in activated)
Also, please be aware that I live in NEW ZEALAND and can’t reply to comments immediately. Your comments came through at 3am. I am not on the internet all the time as I am a busy mum of 3, one of who’m is a high-functioning autistic 12 year old.
Have a neat day…
Dione
