Hi Shana,
I found your washcloths on Rav and I’m in love! They are beautiful, simple knits and seem to suit me just perfectly. I’ve made 2 and wanted to start on the simple weave pattern, but it looks like the same pattern as the seed stitch cloth. I know I’m still learning to knit, but could you check on that? I’d love to know how to make the simple weave cloth and don’t know if I’m up to “reverse engineering it from a photo” yet.
Thanks!

Yes, that is correct. The K5 at the end of those rows is the 3 stitch wide border on the side of the washcloth.

I have a question do you end the row P2 K2 and then K3 which makes it K 5 at the end of the row it just does not seem right and need to know before I work any more on it

You do end it knitting five stitches, but since you purl on other rows, it ends up being stockinette on the cloth with a garter stitch edge.

"No gauge. It's a washcloth. Live free." That cracked me right up! LOL
