One of the best-selling washcloths is now available for knitters! Another Free beginner knit pattern, who is not excited about that!?

I have another washcloth pattern called “Diamond Tile Washcloth,” with larger diamond patterns like tiles. This washcloth got little diamond patterns scattered on the cloth, almost like sparkles. I love using this as a spa cloth. Nothing can add more warmth than an item you took time to make, especially when you love how it came out. It is an excellent addition to your relaxation time, and even better, it looks pretty as bathroom decor while not in use.

About Design

This washcloth is another easy knitting pattern for beginners trying to master knit and purl stitches. The trickiest part of this pattern would be keeping track of what row and stitches you are working on. I love using an app called “Row Counter.” You can download pictures (or screenshots), digital files like PDF, or directly import from your Ravelry library. If you have multiple projects, you can name them and save them as separate files. In addition, it allows you to add notes, highlight, and count various rows on the same screen. I have used a few apps to track rows before, but this app is by far THE BEST app I’ve used! Below is the introduction made by the row counter on Youtube.

Yarn Used

I love using Cascade Ultral Pima Cotton Yarn for spa cloths. It has a shiny, silky look, the yarn is very sturdy and soft, and comes in many different colors.

The beauty of making a washcloth is that you don’t have to worry about gauging so much unless you would like a specific size, of course. To be said, if you have some cotton yarn lying around in your house, you can use them. However, if you are making this washcloth for kitchen use, make sure the yarn material is 100% cotton and doesn’t include synthetic fibers since it may face heat which can ruin the washcloth.
