Moss Stitch

I just made my second set of knitted dishcloths using the cotton yarn I purchased. This time I made two in the Moss Stitch. This is a simple, attractive, nubby stitch that looks best when made in a simple yarn (i.e., not a variegated yarn) so that the texture is highlighted.

Here's how to do a British Moss Stitch:

Step 1
Cast on an even number of stitches.

Step 2
Knit one, purl one and repeat this pattern to the end of the row.

Step 3
Purl one stitch, then knit one and repeat to the end of the row. This is the second row.

Step 4
Repeat steps two and three until the desired length is obtained.

Step 5
Cast off using a moss stitch.
