Knitting Pattern: Tricolor Seed Stitch All Purpose Cloths

I like making washcloths because they make great gifts, they can serve many purposes throughout the house, they are quick to knit, and you can experiment with all sorts of colors and patterns. This particular pattern of mine is great because the washcloth is reversible, so it looks the same on both sides. This is the first pattern I have ever written down for others to follow, so please let me know if you have any questions. Hope you like it! 

Materials:

US Size 7 Needles

100 % cotton yarn (I used Lily Sugar n' Cream), 3 different solid colors (A, B, C), 1 ball each color

Tapestry needle

Gauge:

Not especially important, if you want a square washcloth, you should add enough rows to make the length almost equal to the width. My gauge is about 3.5 stitches per inch (in pattern) to make a 11" by 9" washcloth.

Instructions: 

(Washcloth #1)
