This washcloth is a very cute accessory right from birth, and a wonderful present any time! If you use the suggested baby yarn, the cloth will be very soft and soothing on delicate baby skin. You can also make a dishcloth if you use a cotton yarn. The cloth is very easy to work with only knits and purls.

The pattern explains very detailed and stitch by stitch how you can knit this washcloth, so even beginners with basic knitting skills will succeed. And if there should be any questions, I`ll be happy to help!
