DIY washclothes

These washcloths are easy to knit, and the whole project takes up little space in the bag. The perfect holiday knit or waiting knit. Seed stitch is a combination of straight and purl stitches, and fits very well with washcloths.

We have used cotton yarn as it has the best absorbency and can be washed at 60 degrees.
