Washcloth Pattern - Free Knitting Pattern for Beginners | Posh Pooch Designs

A Sweet Friend of mine that is learning to knit, 

 asked if I had a knit pattern for a washcloth.

She wanted more of a face cloth size, 

not a regular size washcloth.

I did not have one, only crochet ones.

I directed her to some knitting patterns

 but she wanted something a little smaller.

She gave me a crocheted one that was 

about the size she was looking for.

She said it is the perfect size

 for washing a baby.

Since she is a beginner,

 I designed a beginner wash cloth.

 It is nothing fancy

 and I am sure has been done before,

But this is what I came up with.

A 9 X 9.5 basic knit wash cloth

I loved it so much I made a 

bunch to put in my guest bathroom.

I tie pretty ribbon around them,

With a thank you note for guests.

They are the perfect size 

for taking off your makeup, 

washing your face, or washing a baby.

And for washing my furbabies.
