Highlights
Need a quick last-minute gift or a spark of color to brighten someone’s day?

This fast, easy pattern produces a reversible spa cloth versatile enough for Mom, baby, best friend - or you. (It makes a great dish cloth, too.)

A narrow garter stitch border prevents curling and frames simple cables on one side and 2x2 ribs on the other. The reversible cable rib is easy to knit and does NOT require a cable needle.

The design works well in a variety of yarn, from cotton and cotton blends to bamboo or linen. DK to worsted weights are ideal, or carry light weight yarns together for a customized blend.

Have fun. Experiment. This design is sweet in soft pastels, cheerful in bright shades, or tailored in tweeds and neutrals.

The pattern is suitable for moderately experienced beginners.
