I have been knitting these for years...
and once you wash your dishes with them, you will never go back ;-)
I just knitted a whole batch to stock up...
They also make lovely gift.
You will need the following -
1 ball Vinnis Colours yarn - cotton or bamboo
or a combo of both.
Additional yarn for coloured stripe if desired.
Size 6 needles (4.25mm)
Directions
Cast on 38 stitches
Knit 3 rows for the border
Row1: (right side) : Knit
Row 2: K3, purl to last 3 stitches, K3
Row 3: K3, (P2, K1) 10 times, P2, K3
Row 4: K3, (K2, P1) 10 times, K5
Repeat these 4 rows, 6 times.
If a coloured center stripe is desired change yarn now and work rows 1 - 4, 2 times in new colour.
Change back to main colour and work the 4 row patterm, 6 times.
Knit last 4 rows.
Cast off and work in ends.

I so love these but my knitting skills hark back way back to needlework classes in primary school. Maybe this winter with all that indoor time to do something with ... thanks for the pattern!
