Here it is: the pattern for knitted cotton pads!

Crocheted cotton pads have been popular for a long time as an alternative to the disposable cotton pads. It can be tricky to find a knitted pattern, but not any more! Here is a pattern for some wonderful knitted pads.

Danstrup is knit in garter stitch, so most knitters will have no trouble with this project :)

Happy knitting!
