Materials Needed

• Yarn: 100% cotton, DK weight
• Needles: US 7 (4.5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 40 stitches using your US 7 (4.5mm) knitting needles. Make sure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy movement as you knit.
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 creates the foundation for the texture of your cloth.
4. Row 3: This is where the wave pattern begins. Work the following sequence:
   • *Knit 2 stitches (K2)
   • Yarn over (yo)
   • Knit 2 stitches together (k2tog)
   • Repeat from * to the end of the row.
5. Row 4: Purl all stitches across the row. This will help to create the rippling effect of your cloth.
6. Repeat Rows 1-4: Continue repeating Rows 1 through 4 until your piece measures approximately 8 inches from the cast-on edge. This will ensure that your cloth is the perfect size for cleaning.
7. Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches. Make sure to do this loosely to maintain the elasticity of the cloth.
8. Weave in Ends: Finally, use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from your yarn. This will give your cleaning cloth a neat and finished look.
