Materials Needed

• Yarn: 100% cotton yarn, worsted weight
• Needles: US 7 (4.5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 45 stitches onto your knitting needle. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for flexibility in your cloth.
2. Row 1 (Right Side): Knit all stitches across the row. This establishes the first row of your pattern.
3. Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches across the row. This will create a nice contrast to your knit row.
4. Row 3: Begin the ripple pattern. *Knit 3 stitches, then purl 3 stitches; repeat from * to the end of the row.
5. Row 4: Switch the pattern. *Purl 3 stitches, then knit 3 stitches; repeat from * to the end of the row.
6. Row 5: Repeat Row 3: *Knit 3 stitches, then purl 3 stitches; repeat from * to the end of the row.
7. Row 6: Repeat Row 4: *Purl 3 stitches, then knit 3 stitches; repeat from * to the end of the row.
8. Row 7: Knit all stitches across the row. This will create a solid base for your texture.
9. Row 8: Purl all stitches across the row. This will help to balance the texture created in the previous rows.
10. Repeat Rows 3-8: Continue repeating Rows 3 through 8 until your cloth measures approximately 8 inches in length, ending with Row 8.
11. Bind Off: Once your cloth reaches the desired size, bind off all stitches. To bind off, knit the first two stitches, then use the left needle to lift the first stitch over the second stitch and off the needle. Continue this process until all stitches are bound off.
12. Finish: Cut the yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends securely.
