Do you love taking care of your skin and the planet? Do you love knitting useful gifts for yourself and others?

Holding and knitting cotton yarn double, Rough With The Smooth is a lovely simple pattern for reusable face cloths and scrubbies. Being reusable and knitted in a natural fibre is amazing for the planet, but this pattern has an added benefit: they are great for your skin too! One the one side you have a lovely smooth fabric that is gentle enough for wiping your face and a rougher textured side to get rid of stubborn make up and provide gentle exfoliation for those with sensitive skin.

It’s a fantastic pattern that ticks many useful boxes that I’m sure you will knit over again many times.

Happy Knitting!
