basic dishcloth or dishrag

[Woodi]

I got this pattern off the internet, where it's called "Idiot-proof" but I'm not sure it is.

I managed to use the wrong-size needles (7 instead of 9) and it seems too small. (this is halfway, I'm supposed to begin decreasing not) I'm wondering if I can just knit a few plain rows in the middle, to enlarge it but not at the edges to widen it...kwim?


I bought a huge ball of this cotton yarn at a great price, couldn't resist.

What kind of dishcloths do you knit? There are so many patterns....
