This is an easy cloth pattern that is different on the front and the back. Lots of interest using knit and purl stitches.

The two strands are held together throughout resulting in a heavy worsted weight. You can choose to use a worsted weight or aran weight alone, but I think the two colors add to the interest.

This makes a very sturdy and dense cloth that is both soft and can be used to really scrub. These launder well and make great gifts or additions to a spa basket. Keep rolled in a small basket in your guest bathroom but don’t be surprised if you are asked by guests if they can have one (or a few).
