Wash Cloth, Baby Blanket or Baby Hooded Towel

Gauge is not a factor here, but it is good to get a looser than normal stitch in my opinion.

NOTE, once you get enough stitches into working, then use your cast on comb unless your machine doesn't need one.

It is recommended to use either claw weights or fork claw weights on the ends so that they knit up good, and move them up every few rows.

Directions

  1. Cast on 3 (4 or 5) stitches with a closed cast on.
  2. Hang some sort of weight. I found the fork weight was nice.
  3. Knit across.
  4. *Inc, by moving the 2 outside stitches on the carriage side over 1 needle.
  5. Put the empty needle to HP.
  6. After 1 row, move the needle from HP back to FP so that it will knit up.
  7. Repeat from * until you have the size you want.
  8. Knit across.

Now to decrease.

  1. *On the carriage side, take the 2 outside St's and move them in 1 needle.
  2. Take the next stitch and move inwards to keep the lace effect going down the side.
  3. Put empty needle to HP, Knit across.
  4. Put the needle from HP to FP so that it will knit up.
  5. Repeat from * until you are down to the original 3 (4 or 5) stitches.
  6. Bind off your favorite way.

For a washcloth you may do around 25 rows and you would want to use a cotton yarn.

For the hooded baby towel, also cotton yarn would be nice, but after Decreasing when you are back to 3 (4 or 5) stitches, then start increasing again for a little triangle which becomes the hood.
Now Knit a few rows and reform the last few rows to rib.

For a baby blanket, go as much as you want, when I did one on the mid gauge, I did use all needles, then back down to the original cast on stitches.
