Love Day Washcloth - posted by Isabelle 

Material:

Sugar'n Cream 4-ply,

color red.Straight needles #7 US (4.5 mm)

I am not a gauge big fan, and I especially don't think that it really matters for washclothes anyway (right?) so we are going to skip that part...

I only will give the measurements: 7.5" X 7.5"

Instructions:

Cast on 35 stitches.
Knit 3 rows.
Row 4 and each odd row: * K1, P33, K1.
Row 5: K7, P1, K9, P1, K9, P1, K7.
Row 7: K6, P3, K7, P3, K7, P3, K6.
Row 9: K5, P5, K5, P5, K5, P5, K5.
Row 11: K4, P7, K3, P7, K3, P7, K4.
Row 13: K4, P3, K1, P3, K3, P3, K1, P3, K3, P3, K1, P3, K4
Row 15: K5, P2, K1, P2, K5, P2, K1, P2, K5, P2, K1, P2, K5
Rows 17, 19, 21: Knit across. *

Repeat from * to * 2 times more, ending on row 19 the second time.Knit 1 row and bind off in knitting the last row.

We have 3 rows of 3 hearts (= 9 total)
