Hand knitted dishcloths and washcloths make lovely practical handmade gifts. They will give years of practical service. Washable, reusable and a joy to use. The garter stitch houndstooth pattern is deceptively simple to knit, The garter ridges are a little scub power to the cloth. Knit in a lovely soft 8ply Heirloom cotton for a washcloth or in 10ply Finch cotton for a dishcloth.
