For Christmas I received a gift of a handmade knitted washcloth and a wonderful bar of handmade soap! I loved them both and remembered that my grandmother used to knit washcloths as gifts. I reached out to my aunt and asked her for the pattern, which she gladly shared and then told me it was grandma’s pattern. I remembered that grandma had sent me the pattern and I was new to knitting and the yarn overs scared me – I need to look for the piece of paper! This is a fast knit and you can knit a washcloth in an afternoon or over the course of 2 evenings. I made mine a little smaller than the pattern shared below – I wanted to make a special one for Stella since we had just bought some beautiful handmade soap – her’s was a cranberry bar!
