WashclothFor colorwork, cut 36" lengths of [CC1] (two strands), [CC2], [CC3], and [CC4] (two strand).
With waste yarn, crochet a chain for provisional CO.
With knitting needles, CO 9 sts with Tulip [MC] and 7 sts with Tomato [CC1].
Row 1: Knit all sts, changing from [CC1] to [MC] as you come to it, making sure the yarns are twisted (note: be sure yarns have been moved to back of work, between needles, before twisting).
Row 2: Knit to last stitch (k15), wrap next stitch and turn. Knit to end of row.
Row 3: K14, wrap next stitch and turn. Knit to end of row.
Rows 4-9: Continue in this manner, knitting one fewer stitch before wrapping the next, until row 10.
Row 10: K3, wrap next stitch and turn. Knit last stitch.
Row 11: K3, lift wrap around next stitch and knit together with wrapped stitch through the back loops. Repeat until the last wrapped stitch is knitted, end k1.
Repeat from row 1 five times. Work a color change for the "filling" with the [CC] yarns as follows:
In row 1, drop working [CC] strand, knit first stitch with new [CC] yarn. Cut previous [CC] strand, leaving enough to weave in after knitting is completed.
[CC] yarn changes are done in numerical sequence:
[CC1] (Tomato) changes to [CC2] (Poppy), which changes to [CC3] (Cumin), [CC4] (Pumpkin--two repeats) and then back to [CC1] (Tomato).
After the final repeat is completed, remove waste yarn from provisional CO, slipping live stitches to needle, and use 3-needle BO, changing colors as needed.
Make a second piece as follows:
Using provisional CO, CO 16 stitches with Tulip (white).
Row 1: Knit all stitches
Row 2: Knit to last stitch (k15), wrap next stitch, turn. Knit to end of row.
Row 3: K14, wrap next stitch, turn. Knit to end of row.
Rows 4-9: Continue in this manner, knitting one fewer stitch before wrapping the next, to row 10.
Row 10: K3, wrap next stitch and turn. Knit to end of row.
Row 11: K3, lift wrap around next stitch and knit together with wrapped stitch through the back loops. Repeat until the last wrapped stitch is knitted, end k1.
Repeat from row 1 five times. After the final repeat is completed, cut yarn leaving a 15" tail. Remove waste yarn from provisional CO, slipping live stitches to needle, and use 3-needle BO, changing colors as needed. Pull center stitches together. If you prefer a flexible, invisible BO, graft the edges together instead.
Weave in ends on the colorworked piece.
Finishing:
The piece on the show was assembled with wrong sides together and then crocheted together with half-double crochet and a size G hook. If you would prefer to knit the edge, you may do so as follows:
Knit edging:
With wrong sides together, using dpn or 8"-12" circular needle, with right side facing you, pick up stitches along the edge using [CC5], going through both layers at the same time.
Work I-cord edging as follows:
CO 3 sts (cable or knitted CO)
*K2, k2tog through back loops. Slip 3 sts from right needle to left needle. Pull yarn across back of work*. Repeat from * to *. If you don't want a hanging loop, end k3tog.
If you would like to make a loop to hang the washcloth from, work 3 st I-cord to desired length (I like 5"), k3tog and sew to the edge.
