Simple Washcloth *FREE* Pattern

Here it is, the last pattern for the Simple Washcloth Collection. This is most minimalistic of the four and probably my favourite. I adore the little bumps every so often and it’s super gentle on the skin, perfect for removing makeup or having a gentle wash!

The last pattern is beautifully minimalistic!

Thank you all so, so much for all the amazing love you have shown this little collection. I am getting them ready for tech editing – although I haven’t had any comments about mistakes or any confusion in the instructions, I still want them to have a look over – they will, of course, remain free, and I may even do more in the future.

Here is the pattern 🙂

Next up, I am making a slouchy hat for my two year-old so will be doing another mini series and taking you with me through the design process! It will just be a simple stockinette slouchy but I’ll be detailing the main steps I take when designing knitwear, from the idea, to the math, to the sample all the way through to the FO (finished object). Hope you will join me 🙂

Until then, stay safe and happy knitting
