Garden Gate Washcloth

Reminiscent of picket fences, this simple, textured washcloth is perfect for all skill levels. **Size:** Approximately 7in/18cm square **Needles:** I used 4.5mm (US size 7) straight needles **Gauge:** Approximately 4.5 stitches per inch. **Notions:** • Tapestry needle **Yarn:** • The sample I made used: • Knit Picks, Dishie (worsted weight, 4 ply, 190 yards per 100g skein, 100% cotton), in the colorway “Jalapeno.” • Any worsted weight yarn in 100% cotton will work for this project • You will need around 40 yards, or 20g, per washcloth **Notes:** • The size and stitch count of the washcloth can be easily modified; just add or remove stitches in increments of two. • Cotton sheds fibers the first time it touches water, so make sure you launder your washcloth before use. **Skills Needed:** Perfect for beginners, this simple pattern utilizes: • knitting • purling
