My first design... Knit Heart Dishcloth with Pattern

I have been making the "Grandma's Favorite Dishcloth" these last few days and I kept thinking it would make a GREAT heart dishcloth if I could just figure it out,so today I started one and at the halfway point when I had 40 stitches on and started the decreases, I just did the 1st 20 stitches and left the other ones on my "DP" (still do not have any , so I'm using an orange wood stick, I DID however file the point!!!) and used a small hair tie to hold it on, I decreased each row just like I would have for Grandma's Favorite Dishcloth and then joined the yarn in the middle and put the stitches back on the other knitting needle and did the same thing. I will write up the pattern this evening and post it. But I just had to share!!!! I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!!!!! AND I was smart enough to 'kinda' write it out as I went, I just had to post this right away!!!

    I really like how you designed this heart and would love it if you could post the pattern. That dip in the top has been at the heart of my problem when i tried fiddling with the pattern last year, i think! Really nice job!

    Am having a problem on Row 4. Is it K2, YO, (K2 tog) times 2 all the way across or k to end? Row 5 repeat what? I'm thoroughly confused.

  26. MickiMonday, February 8, 2010 at 10:46:00 AM PST

    clearly states ........ K2, YO, (K2 tog) x2, K to end
    That means..... k2, yo, k2tog, yo k2tog, k across...... I do not know how it could be clearer and the next row says to repeat the pattern til you have X amount of stitches... Very easy pattern to follow. This is the first email out of thousands (literally) that has had a problem with the pattern. I will pick up the needles this evening and start one to see if it is a problem, but I have made dozens and dozens of them with no problems. Hope this helps instead of hindering.
