This pattern started out as a full size 120cm x 150cm blanket. It was then adapted to a 65cm square stroller version. This is published as my Building Blocks Blanket pattern and includes the colour layout and yardage estimate for the larger size.

In testing the blanket pattern, a number of people were very interested in adapting the pattern to make washcloths and/or using varying weights of yarn, so I created the simpler and smaller washcloth pattern.

Yarn requirements: Worsted Weight, 100% cotton, 3 colours, approx 70-90m total.
Yarn used: Lily Sugar ‘n Cream, in White (40-50m), Hot Pink (15-20m) and Grey (15-20m)
Needles: 6mm (US10)
Gauge: 13 sts and 24 rows = 10cm/4inches in blocked stockinette stitch. However there is a note in the pattern about another option to calculate size.

Techniques required:
Intarsia

Please note:

  • I am a tight knitter and some of my testers note that they need to drop a needle size to match my gauge.
  • The gauge is somewhat unimportant as long as you are happy with your finished material, however it may alter the required amount of yarn.
