Baby Washcloth Pattern

Candylou’s Favorite Baby Washcloth Pattern

When it comes to knitting easy projects, a baby washcloth knitting pattern is #1 on my list.  They are simple, mindless and useful.  I knit them for newborn babies, for dishcloths in the kitchen, for washcloths in the bath and for spa cloths if I’m looking for a gift.  I usually pair them with pretty soap and voila!  it’s the perfect combination of homemade love and useful knitted item!

Yarn

Baby washcloths should be knitted with cotton yarn.  Some great choices are Lion Brand 247 cotton yarn:

and Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Cotton.

Needles

I like to use Knitpicks Short Interchangeable Needles, size 6 with a 16″ cord.

Featuring smooth joins, perfectly tapered tips and flexible cables, this set includes 7 of our bestselling needle tips and 2 cables to create a 16″ circular knitting needle – all of which are stored in a handy vinyl case. Two small cable keys are included, which allow you to tighten your needle tips to the cables. Working on multiple projects that call for the same needle size? Use the included endcaps to safely store your project as you start the next.

Boasting the same strong and smooth layers of laminated birch that you know and love, Caspian shows off a sea-inspired colorway along with a distinctive emerald cord to complement its oceanic hues.
