Grandma's Favorite Dishcloth

I'm really probably the last knitter on earth to find this pattern...

I've been making my movie-going-knit-in-the-dark-stockinette-stitch-dishcloths-with-a-contrast-border forever...

But I absolutely love this pattern - and I can still knit it in the dark...

Grandma's Favorite Dishcloth

Designer: Unknown
Rating: Easy
Materials: Sugar and Cream yarn; Size 9 needles (US)

Instructions:
Cast on 4 stitches
Row 1: Knit 4
Row 2: Knit 2, yarn over, knit across the row. Repeat Row 2 until you have 44 stitches on the needle.
Row 3: Knit 1, Knit 2 together, yarn over, knit 2 together, knit to the end of the row.

Repeat Row 3 until you have 4 stitches on the needle. You can now either bind off or do a round of single crochet and make a little loop of chain stitches in one corner so you can hang the cloth to dry when you are finished using it.
