Relaxing knitting. Free pattern!

 I have been doing what I call "relaxing knitting." I'm not trying to produce, catch up, get things done, all the things that the holidays make you do. I am just knitting. 

I first did a bunch of face towels. I could just combine colors or make a face cloth in one color. What I love about doing these is that it is a set amount of stitches and I don't have to think, count, or measure. 

I am using size 4 needles and Bernat Cotton Terry. Gauge doesn't matter. 

Cast on 65 stitches. 

Foundation row: K 32, place marker, k1, place maker, k 32.

Row 1: Knit to the marker, slip marker (sm), P1, sm, K to end.

Row 2: Knit to two stiches before marker, k2tog, sm, k1, sm, ssk, K to end. (2 sts deceased). 

Repeat these two rows until there are three sts left.

Remove markers. k3tog. Fasten off and weave in end.

You can make them bigger or smaller by casting on more or less stitches as long as you have an odd number of stitches. You can easily add stripes by just adding another color on Row 2. 

Just have fun!
