Hello Fellow knitters :) just going to try this pattern out, I am a beginner and was wondering on row 4 it says repeat last 3 rows... does that mean start from the first and second rows that say knit. so am i knitting the next 2 rows then doing the yo/k2tog row then repeat? does this make sense? I'm sorry, like I said I am a beginner:) Thanks.

I'm guessing that you mean yo (yarn over) instead of y.fwd. You may want to correct that for beginners.

I've been making my own dishcloths for years (mind you, not as fancy) and if nothing else i find that they last much longer than shop bought ones!!!!

Great! Simple & quick to knit up. Note: yfwd = yo. I used size 8 needles and added one more row of knit at the end to even out the pattern, since the first 2 rows were knit, I wanted to end in 2 rows of knit. Also, bind off loosely.

I have been looking for some different patterns for dishcloths as I make them for my daughter.
