Softest Cotton Washcloth + Bath Mat

MATERIALS To make one washcloth (bath mat), you’ll need… - 1 (8) ball(s) of Purl Soho’s [Witch Hazel][1], 100% Pima cotton. Each ball is 48 yards/ 50 grams; approximately 45 (384) total yards required. We used Glacier Blue and Heirloom White for our bath mats and every color of Witch Hazel for our washcloths. - Optional: US 8 (5 mm) [double pointed needles][2], to begin project if you prefer not to use Magic Loop - US 8 (5 mm), 24-inch [circular knitting needles][3], whether you’re starting with double pointed needles or doing Magic Loop - Bath Mat Only: US 8, 47- or 60-inch circular needles (NOTE: If you’re using Magic Loop, you can use just the 47- or 60-inch needles throughout, but they may be a bit unruly at the beginning of the project when you’re working only a few stitches!) - Optional: A spare needle, one or two sizes larger, for binding off - A [stitch marker][4] And if you want to make a few color-coordinated washcloths, our [Witch Hazel Bundles][5] include 3 or 9 colors of Witch Hazel! GAUGE 14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch, unblocked NOTE: This is not the gauge of the finished project, but if you get this gauge for a flat swatch, your finished projects will end up roughly the right size! SIZES Washcloth (Bath Mat) - Finished Diameter, Unlaundered: 8 (24) inches in diameter - Finished Diameter, Machine Laundered: 7 (22) inches in diameter NOTE: When you run Witch Hazel through the gentle cycle of a washing machine and dryer, it shrinks a little bit and also gets denser, softer, and even more amazing!
