Dear Fellow Knitlisters,
I'm mostly a lurker but I have come up with a pattern I would like
to share with you all.  It's a washcloth with a crossed lattice
sort of pattern.  I love doing cables and crossed stitches.  The
pattern stitch came from "The Harmony Guide to Aran and Fair Isle
Knitting" but I came up with the rest.  Janet said it was ok to
share in that case.

Lattice Washcloth

Materials: 1 skein Sugar & Cream (4 ply worsted weight cotton), US #7
needles
Gauge: not too important

Cast on 60 stitches
Work 2 rows of garter stitch
Pattern stitch:
Row 1:  K3, P1, *slip next stitch onto cable needle and hold in front of
work, purl next stitch, knit stitch from cable needle, slip next stitch
onto cable needle and hold in back of work, knit next stitch, purl
stitch from cable needle;  repeat from * to last 4 stitches, P1, K3.
Row 2:  K5, *slip next stitch onto cable needle and hold in back of
work, purl next stitch, purl stitch from cable needle, K2; repeat from *
to last 3 stitches, K3.
Row 3:  K3, P1, *slip next stitch onto cable needle and hold in back of
work, knit next stitch, purl stitch from cable needle, slip next stitch
onto cable needle and hold in front of work, purl next stitch, knit
stitch from cable needle; repeat from * to last 4 stitches, P1, K3.
Row 4:  K4, P1, K2, *slip next stitch onto cable needle and hold in
front of work, purl next stich, purl stitch from cable needle, K2;
repeat from * to last 5 stitches, P1, K4.
Repeat these 4 rows for pattern until almost square.  End with row 4.
Next Row:  K3, *K2, K2tog; repeat  from * to last 3 stitches, K3.
Next Row:  K accross.
Bind off.

It sounds a little tricky but once you see the pattern developing you
can tell by looking which way the
stitches should lap over each other.  Hope you have fun with it.
