Bodhi Leaf Washcloth

Each of these botanical washcloths is a perfect piece of knitting, with simple shaping and a dollop of memorizable lace. And that sweet I-cord hanging loop? Divine. [We have used linen yarn, which elevates the most humble household handknit with its elegance, easy care, and endurance. And we love the softness of cotton as a cozy alternative.][1] When a knit hits that sweet spot, we want to crank them out, one after another, fill drawers with them, give them to all our friends with a bar of beautiful soap. Invite one of us to dinner: You get a Camembert from Trader Joe’s and a little stack of leaves. New baby? Leaves of linen or cotton will be showered upon you, in a matter of days. This is so easy and so fun. **Materials** — [Euroflax Sport by Louet][2] \[100 g skein, approx 270 yds (247m), 100% wet spun linen\]: 1 skein Limestone, Soft Coral, Lake Placid, Natural, or Pewter NOTE: One skein will make at least 5 washcloths.
