Brioche stitch cloth

Super nice ribbing without having to purl at all. We used US 10 needles and double strands of Safran cotton.

Pattern:

Cast on 30 stitches.

Row 1-3: K

Row 4: K2, *YO, sl1, K1, repeat from * until last two stitches, K2

Row 5: K2, *YO, sl1, K2tog* repeat until last two stitches, K2

Repeat row 5 until wanted length. It appears longer on the needles than it really is.

Finishing rows, start from the right side:

Row 1: K2, *K1, K2tog* repeat until last two stitches, K2.

Row 2 and 3: K

Cast off loosely.

This is a free dish cloth knitting pattern from pickles.no. We’ll be thrilled if you use it. Please link to us if you do;)

I am interested in making your Brioche stitch cloth and I don't know some of your abbreviations. Maybe it is because I am from the US, I have checked the web as best as I could and can"t find them. What is Kast and K1t? Thanks in advance.

Carol, they are both misspellings, sorry about that and thank you for asking/noticing! Hope the pattern makes sense now.

I've been looking for a simple cloth pattern- all the ones my mother uses are quite lacy and she looked at me like I'd grown another head when I told her so. I think I'll try both of your patterns!

I would like to make the brioche stitch dish cloth but cannot find any info anywhere as to what weight yarn the Safran cotton you mention is - can you enlighten me? thanks.

This is an old pattern, and we do not stock this, You can use any cotton yarn really:)

Hi I'm having trouble reading this pattern, I have tried it a couple of times without success, I understand K, Sl, and K2tog but I'm having trouble with YO, I take it this is the same as Yarn Over Needle YON in Australian knitting abbreviations? Could yoy please clarify? Thanks Siona
