A dishcloth knitted with pure linen transforms an ordinary rag into a luxurious textile. Wendy Bernard demonstrates how to work with linen yarn to create a washcloth with an i-cord loop for hanging. The linen fiber resists mildew, is great for scrubbing, and gets softer with every use. This quick knitting project is a fun way to try out new stitch patterns—several of which are included in the PDF. Make a stack to give as a gift, or keep them for your own daily use.

I really enjoyed knitting these, the patterns were easy to follow and I was then able to experiment with my own combinations. I also made these in fine linen thread, they turned out beautifully, but had to cast on more stitches as they made up smaller.

Loved the idea of using an i-cord ro make a loop. I knit cotton pot holders and I shall add in an i-cord loop. I will definitely try a washcloth - they look very enticing to wash with. Thank you!
