Knitted Dishcloths

My favorite dishcloth to use is the one that I knit using cotton yarn. I buy the yarn in a large cone or ball. I like to buy white because I can throw them in with my white towels and use Clorox. When I went to buy yarn, they did not have white so I chose this verigated yarn.
Pattern:
Cotton yarn and knitting needle of your choice.
Cast on 4, k 1 row.
Next row, k2, inc in next st., k1
Next row, k2, yo, k to end of row
Repeat the k2, yo, k until you have 45 sts on the needle.
Next row, k1, k2tog, yo, k2tog, k to end of row
Continue to do this, decreasing each row until 5 stitches are left. Then, k2,
