I love these soft and chunky cotton cloths! I make them using two strands of cotton yarn held together. We use Dr. Bronner's soaps, and the little spaces between the knit and crochet stitches really make the soaps lather wonderfully well. I love the bright colors too. They are so cheerful! I've included a knit version and a crochet version. Both are super easy and fast projects. They're great for mindless knitting or crocheting while watching a movie.
Knit Cotton Cloth
This is my favorite because I enjoy knitting more than crochet.
Holding two strands of yarn together, cast on 25 stitches. I used large needles - size 11. You can vary the needle size to make the thickness you like; size 11 needles are just right for me. Knit every row (garter stitch pattern) until you have the length you like. I like the cloths to be square. Then bind off and weave in the yarn ends.
Crochet Cotton Cloth
I added a little loop for hanging with the crochet version.
Holding two strands of yarn together, chain (ch) 21 stitches. I used a large hook - size P. Again, you can vary the hook size to get the density and thickness of cloth you like best.
Single crochet (sc) in the second chain from the hook and across to the end of the row.
Turn, ch 1, sc across to the end of the row.
Continue this way until you are almost ready to finish and only want to crochet one more row. On the last row, instead of ch 1, chain 10 ( this will make a little loop to hang the cloth). Sc across as usual. Cut the yarn and pull through the last loop. Weave in the ends, and you're finished!
Thanks so much for your visit :)
