redroseSorry it took so long; I think I said I'd do this about 6 months ago.
Get worsted weight cotton (Lily Sugar & Cream, Lion Cotton or Kitchen Cotton, same dif) and a pair of suitable needles. Needle sizes will range from 8 to 10, depending on how tight you want your dishcloth to be. Cotton will tighten up when it is washed, but also does expand when you get it wet.
Cast on 4 stitches.
For every row, K2, YO, K to end, until you have about 40 stitches on the needles, or the piece has the diagonal length you want.
After that, for every row, K2, YO, K2tog, K to end, until you have 4 stitches on the needle. Cast off.
This will make a slightly hexagonal dishcloth. For more square, cast on fewer stitches, and cast off when you have fewer stitches.
Other sources of dishcloth patterns - google for them! Many people spend a lot of time making pretty dishcloth patterns.
