When I was a newer knitter, I bought a bunch of yarn at a Goodwill. Pretty often. On \none of my forays, I got a cone of cotton yarn. Peaches & Creme yarn. At some point, I looked into the underside of the cone and found a piece of paper. I took it out and found a washcloth pattern! It was handwritten in beautiful script. I knit it up to see if it was actually workable.
It was!
I can no longer find the piece of paper I originally got the pattern from, but I did manage to type it up. It’s available for download on Ravelry. But I thought I’d add it to the blog as well, and maybe get into the habit of having free patterns regularly.
So, here it is:
Supplies needed:
Worsted weight cotton yarn, approximately 50-60 g
Size US 7 needles
Yarn Needle to weave in ends.
Pattern:
First stitch is slipped purl wise
Cast on 5 stitches
Row 1: sl1, bring yarn to back, knit across
Row 2: sl1, yarn back, k1, yo, k to end of the row.
Repeat row 2 until you have 52 stitches on your needle
Decreases:sl1, yarn back, k2tog, yo, k2tog, k to end of row.
Repeat this until you have 5 stitches remaining on your needle.
K across
Cast off, weave in ends.
And there you go.The ones I have been making lately are only 40 stitches across, but they’re pretty good sized.
My hand fits in the main part of the cloth at this size. They’re that small because I used leftovers from making Almost Lost Washcloths from Simply Notable and I wouldn’t have had enough to get yo 52 stitches and made it down to 5.
I’ll be making more of all the washcloths in the next few days, so you’ll hear about it, I’m sure.
