One of my favourite and easiest knitting projects is this dish cloth. It's a good beginner pattern, and is a lot of fun to make (and quick to finish).
You can really use any size needles, but I use my trusty #7's
This is started from the corner, so it gets bigger by one stitch each row you knit. When you get half way through it, you start decreasing each row by one stitch.
Here are the instructions:
cast on 4 stitches
knit 1 row
Next row, knit 2, yarn over, knit to end (this is to increase each row by 1 stitch)
Repeat the k2, yo, k to end until you have 44 stitches on the needle
Next row, knit 1, knit 2 together, yarn over, knit 2 together, knit to end
Continue to do this, decreasing each row, until 4 stitches are left on the needle.
Then bind off the 4 last stitches.
knit 1 row
Next row, knit 2, yarn over, knit to end (this is to increase each row by 1 stitch)
Repeat the k2, yo, k to end until you have 44 stitches on the needle
Next row, knit 1, knit 2 together, yarn over, knit 2 together, knit to end
Continue to do this, decreasing each row, until 4 stitches are left on the needle.
Then bind off the 4 last stitches.

I used this pattern to make a baby blanket for my soon-to-be-born niece. I only made the squares 22 stitches across (instead of 44).
I did it in a checker board pattern, in pink and beige. It came out great, and I’m sure it will be loved!
