I knitted a butterfly stitch pattern dish cloth tonight.
I used Bernat Handicrafter Cotton Yarn (Purple Perk) and size 4.5mm knitting needles.
Cast on multiples of 10, plus 7 stitches ... I cast on 37.
Knit three rows.
Here's the butterfly pattern:
Row 1: Knit 1, purl 5, * with yarn in back slip 5, purl 5 *, knit 1
Row 2: Knit row
Row 3: Knit 1, purl 5, * with yarn in back slip 5, purl 5 *, knit 1
Row 4: Knit row
Row 5: Knit 1, purl 5, * with yarn in back slip 5, purl 5 *, knit 1
Row 6: Knit 1, * knit 7, lift the 3 strands then knit 1, release the 3 strands, knit 2 *, knit 6
Row 7: Knit 1, with yarn in back, slip 5, * purl 5, with yarn in back slip 5 *, knit 1
Row 8: Knit row
Row 9: Knit 1, with yarn in back, slip 5, * purl 5, with yarn in back slip 5 *, knit 1
Row 10: Knit row
Row 11: Knit 1, with yarn in back, slip 5, * purl 5, with yarn in back slip 5 *, knit 1
Row 12: Knit 3, lift the 3 strands then knit 1, release the 3 strands, knit 2, * knit 7, lift the 3 strands then knit 1, release the 3 strands, knit 2 *, knit 1
Repeat rows 1 to 12 until desired length (I did 10 rows of butterflies).

Knit 3 rows. Cast off and darn in ends.
