I'm launching a new section to my blog, Courtney's Craft Corner.  In these segments I'll be teaching you how to do various crafts.  This one is learning to knit.  Enjoy!

3. Cast off leaving a long string of yarn. 

4. Tie off, and sew the ends together

5. Scrunch the seam and wrap the extra yarn around to form a bow.  

6. Ties end of yarn together to secure. 

Wash cloth. 

(use cotton yarn)

1. Cast on 4 stitches

2. Knit the first row. 

3. In each row after - Knit 2, add 1, then knit the rest of the row (adding 1 stitch per row) Do this until you have 38 stitches. 

4. Start decreasing with this pattern: Knit 1, combine 2, add 1, combine 2, knit rest of row

(This keeps the hole border pattern, while also decreasing a stitch each row) Continue this pattern until you are back down to 4 stitches. 

5. Cast off.
