This Herringbone washcloth was designed initially as a scrap-buster for my leftover yarn from a doll blanket for my youngest daughter.
It’s a simple, quick knit that makes a great gift too!
The Herringbone washcloth is worked in flat in one piece.
It’s knitted tightly in herringbone stitch; you need to know how to knit, purl, and slip stitches. You can find a how-to video here.
The instructions are written in standard American terms.
