Perfect for scrubbing syrup off your dishes—or your face—this waffle knit washcloth is excellent for all skill levels, including absolute beginners! Top your “waffle” with a “pat of butter” eye cloth!

Size:
Approximately 7in/18cm square

Needles:
I used 4.5mm (US size 7) needles

Gauge:
Approximately 4.5 stitches per inch.

Notions:
• Tapestry needle

Yarn:
• The sample I made used:
• Knit Picks, Dishie (worsted weight, 4 ply, 190 yards per 100g skein, 100% cotton), in the colorway “Creme Brulee.”
• Any worsted weight yarn in 100% cotton will work for this project
• You will need around 40 yards, or 20g, per washcloth (5g or less for eye cloth)

Notes:
• The size and stitch count of the washcloth can be easily modified; just add or remove stitches in increments of three.
• Cotton sheds fibers the first time it touches water, so make sure you launder your washcloth before use.

Skills Needed:
Perfect for beginners, this simple pattern utilizes:
• knitting
• purling
