Elevate the everyday with this simple yet indulgent garter stitch washcloth, finished with a neat i-cord loop for hanging. Whether you call it a face washer or a dishcloth, this little leaf is a celebration of mindful making – quick to knit, endlessly useful, and perfect for pairing with a bar of handmade soap. Crafted in cotton for gentle exfoliation and easy care, it’s a thoughtful gift or a small act of self-love that turns daily rituals into moments of quiet luxury.

Samples pictured: Fiddlesticks Finch, colours 6246 Aqua and 6236 Coral.
Gauge

5mm needles or needles required to obtain your preferred gauge.
Some samples were knit on 4.5mm needles successfully
