Waffle Stitch Washcloth + Hand Towel In Santolina
Just as a strawberry you grew tastes a little sweeter, our hand-knit Waffle Stitch Washcloth + Hand Towel knitting pattern will bring you more pleasure than any you could buy!
This simple waffle stitch is an easy slip-stitch pattern, creating a fabric with a distinctive texture that grows fast and furious on the needles.
We knit our Waffle Stitch Washcloth + Hand Towels in our Santolina yarn, a soft and sturdy, machine wash- and dryable combination of 70% organically grown cotton, 20% rayon from bamboo, and 10% hemp.
These fibers work together to create a complex and beautiful fingering-weight yarn. The hemp lends a hearty, rustic character, while the bamboo is as smooth and shiny as silk. Together with the cotton, Santolina is a brew of contrasts and complements: Soft but textured. Smooth but gripping. Gently heathered but lustrous. All in all, magnificent!
With just one skein of Santolina you can make four Washcloths, and you only need two skeins for a Hand Towel. There are twenty-two colors ranging from soft and subtle, to bright and punchy… Pick your favorites and enjoy the sweetness!
