It is a funny thing how this cloth came about. After 4 tries, I finally got it just the way I liked. And if you saw my notes, you will find the pattern (instructions & pseudo-chart drawings) scribbled onto a piece of paper with pencil, red crayon, purple crayon, and blue rollerball ink! It's incredible that I can even read it and figure out what the correct final version instructions are. LOL.

Notes:

B3 = 3 stitch border of your choice (I used K3 for my border in the cloth above)

K2TOG = knit 2 stitches together

SSK = slip 1 stitch, slip 1 stitch, knit these two slipped stitches together

YO = yarn over

Instructions in parentheses followed by x3 means you do what is in the paretheses the number of times indicated after "x". For example, (YO, K2Tog)x3 means you would do YO, K2Tog, YO, K2Tog, YO, K2Tog.
