Knitted Wash Cloth
Size 8US (5mm) knitting needles
Lily Cotton yarn
Cast on 4 stitches
row 1: Knit across
row 2: K2 YO K to end (increasing)
Continue row 2 until you have 45 stitches (to make bigger increase by multiples of 5, I like 55).
Next row after you've reached 45 st: K1 K2tog K to end (decreasing)
Continue decreasing until you have 4 st, K2tog, K2tog
Weave in your ends.
And ... you have a completed wash cloth.
This wash cloth makes an excellent Christmas gift, especially when you do them in colors to match the giftee's kitchen. (This one was made from scrap yarn from another gift). Enjoy!

Very nice! I tried crocheting some of these things and stopped. I started wondering how well they would soak stuff up. Have you ever used any in your kitchen? You'll have to let me know. For now they are in my UFO stash!!
i am loving orange lately!!
great gift idea.
Hmmm. Never thought about a knitted wash cloth. I too wonder how well it works. Let us know.
They work really good. They are little grabbers and pick up lots, very good for cleaning the kitchen or anything else really. I actually get request for these little guys so I know they must work pretty good.
When giving as a gift, I usually make 3 and put them with serving utensils, because who has enough serving spoons or bamboo cooking spoons? Not me, for sure ;)
Thank you for stopping by my blog!! I really want to move to Anchorage or up in Palmer or Wasilla or Eagle River. Where ever I find a teaching job!
my grandmother taught me how to make those....they come in handy!
Too bad you don't live closer! I need lessons!!! I am just starting to learn how to knit!!! You are a pro! My mom makes these and I LOVE them!!! TFS!
Love the orange, though I don't know if I'd be able to use it as a washcloth! Too pretty!
Pretty! Respect for the knitting :)
Where are you?? I miss your posts!
