Dandelion Linen Washcloth

linen crochet yarn
Lovely stitch that looks really effective in linen.

Knit with DK weight linen yarn. 
Gauge 20 stitches/10cm on 3.75mm needles (US 5)
Finished size for these instructions 9" square/18cm square approx using 25g of eco-stitch yarn.
If you want to make it bigger, the pattern is a multiple of 8 stitches, so you can add 8, 16, 24 stitches etc. to the cast on stitches.

How to knit the dandelion flower:
Insert right-hand needle into the third stitch down from the second stitch on left needle (this space forms the centre of the flower) and draw through a loop, leave loop on right-hand needle and knit 2, make second loop into same stitch, knit 2, make third loop into same stitch.
Note: Make sure that your loop stitch is loose enough to lie flat and not distort your work.
You need to be a bit of a contortionist to make the 3rd loop. Sharp, pointed needles recommended. I used KnitPro Symfonie needles.
