Second Easiest Dishcloth EVER!

(half way mark)
SECOND easiest only because the #1 easiest is just a square of garter stitch.

I have been doing some 'home prep' and going through the mountain of yarn. My energy level isn't at it's highest today so I wanted to make something simple. This pattern IS simple.

If you are new to knitting you can still manage to follow along. I am far, far, FAR from a knitting expert but this is almost imposable to get wrong... and if you do, big deal, the dishes won't care!


REQUIREMENTS
1 ball of knit worsted weight cotton (I use Sugar 'n Cream or Peaches 'n Creme)
Size 10 needles (You can use smaller but it takes more to make the right size, I use size 10)

DIRECTIONS
Cast on 4 sts.
Row 1: Knit one row.
Row 2: K2, YO, knit to the end of the row.
Repeat row 2 until there are 40 stitches on the needle.
Next row: K1, K2tog, YO, K2tog, knit to the end of the row.
Continue decreasing until 4 sts left. Cast off.
