Softest Cotton Washcloth + Bath Mat
by Purl Soho
This pattern is
available for free.
MATERIALS
To make one washcloth (bath mat), you’ll need…
- 1 (8) ball(s) of Purl Soho’s Witch Hazel, 100% Pima cotton. Each ball is 48 yards/ 50 grams; approximately 45 (384) total yards required. We used Glacier Blue and Heirloom White for our bath mats and every color of Witch Hazel for our washcloths.
- Optional: US 8 (5 mm) double pointed needles, to begin project if you prefer not to use Magic Loop
- US 8 (5 mm), 24-inch circular knitting needles, whether you’re starting with double pointed needles or doing Magic Loop
- Bath Mat Only: US 8, 47- or 60-inch circular needles (NOTE: If you’re using Magic Loop, you can use just the 47- or 60-inch needles throughout, but they may be a bit unruly at the beginning of the project when you’re working only a few stitches!)
- Optional: A spare needle, one or two sizes larger, for binding off
- A stitch marker
And if you want to make a few color-coordinated washcloths, our Witch Hazel Bundles include 3 colors of Witch Hazel and make 3 washcloths!
GAUGE
14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch, unblocked
NOTE: This is not the gauge of the finished project, but if you get this gauge for a flat swatch, your finished projects will end up roughly the right size!
SIZES
Washcloth (Bath Mat)
- Finished Diameter, Unlaundered: 8 (24) inches in diameter
- Finished Diameter, Machine Laundered: 7 (22) inches in diameter
NOTE: When you run Witch Hazel through the gentle cycle of a washing machine and dryer, it shrinks a little bit and also gets denser, softer, and even more amazing!
