Today’s post will show you how to knit my third facecloth pattern of the week, Wavy Blocks. I love knitting facecloths, they are a great way of learning a new pattern and trying it out over a small number of stitches, but they also use up small amounts of cotton yarn and make very thoughtful, luxurious presents at the same time!
The Wavy Blocks pattern has a lovely criss cross grid effect. Depending on your tension, this facecloth should knit up to be approximately 6 inches square. My facecloths used 15-20 grams of wool each.
This facecloth is knitted on size 4mm needles and using double knit wool. I used a cotton yarn because it washes well and is soft to wash your face with. If you knit this pattern using a paler wool the design will be more subtle, or if you want it to be bolder, choose a darker yarn.
Using 4mm needles, cast on 33 stitches.
Knit the pattern below 3 times.
