Add a little luxury to your everyday with these reversible textured face cloths / washcloths / dishcloths.

Knit in oblique rib stitch, a 4 row pattern repeat which makes diagonal stripes. Most of the cloth is knit in easy 2x2 rib.

Includes instructions for adding an optional hanging loop at the end, knit with i-cord.

Cast on 46 stitches with worsted/aran cotton for an 11 inch square cloth, but you can add or substract a multiple of 4 to make any size.

To make a lighter cloth, you could use DK cotton with 3-3.5mm needles or 4 ply with 2.5-3mm needles.

Gauge is not important but I’d suggest using a needle size a bit smaller than usual to knit a dense fabric for your cloth.
