Notes

Lily Sugar ‘N Cream 100% 4Ply Cotton Yarn 7 Dishcloths Book 510 with UPC # 075160375107. Also lists Art. 930H - have no idea what that means.

Each pattern calls for US 7 needles and one ball of yarn per cloth.

This is the first pattern in the pamphlet.

The yarn I used is rather thin, even doubled with cotton string held throughout, it is only about 1/2 the width of worsted. I used a much-smaller needle, but followed the directions as printed.

Since I’m a loose knitter, the result is still an inch larger than the pattern specifies. Regardless, the dishcloth is way too big for an average person - maybe if I was an NBA player with larger hands.

I would remake this pattern with a CO of only 31 instead of the 47.

Easy to follow directions.

The first photo is the front of the cloth where you can see the rows of V’s. The second photo shows the back of the cloth with rows of loops.
