100% Cotton Washcloths

I love making washcloths. They are a fast reward. In a short amount of time, you can have a completed washcloth. I like to learn different stitches and try them in a washcloth.

I found this Mission Falls 100% cotton yarn in beautiful muted colors on sale. So I bought a couple of each. And, I love knitting needles. So, I got these 9" No 7 Bamboo.

Here are a couple of patterns that I tried with my new yarn and needles.

A Garter Stitch is just a knit stitch on both sides. So, just keep knitting.

Cast on 44.

K 4 ridges in Garter Stitch.

Border 5 sts in Garter St- Start pattern- border 5 sts in Garter St

Rows 1 and 3 (RS): Knit all sts

Row 2: K1, P1 Repeat all the way across (but, don't forget about the border)

Row 4: P1, K1 Repeat all the way across

Work this pattern until long enough
