Polarization-sensitive 6-cm observations of the BL Lac object 0735+178 have been made using a four-element VLB interferometer with a resolution of 9 x 2 marcsec. The total intensity and polarization structures are well represented by three unresolved components (a core and two jet components). The core was moderately polarized (m = about 4 percent); the outer knot was more strongly polarized (m = about 15 percent); and the inner knot in the jet was weakly polarized (m = 2 percent or less). The B field indicated by the polarization position angles of the components is roughly perpendicular to the jet at the position of the outer knot. Over a period of 24 h, the polarized flux density of the VLBI core fell by 40 percent.
