Washy a happy bright little softy, abrasive only in the best way....
Washy is made from Tahki Stacy Charles' new yarn called "Party" - a loopy baby yarn in cotton blend. I used size 9 needles, as recommended on the ball band, and a simple garter stitch. The embroidery is done with cotton yarns.
Party comes in 91 yard balls and I used about two-thirds of the one ball I bought. I got mine at Patternworks. They have a website: www.patternworks.com if you want to invite some Washys into your own house.
Other face cloths completed over the post-Christmas break:
1. a gold sunburst
2. a lavender garter stitch ribbing
3. a vareigated magenta feather and fan stitch
4. a bright orange garter stich with eyelet edge
All of these cloths were made from Filata diCrosi Millefili Fine mercerized cotton - my favorite cotton yarn (I've even knit socks from this!). Patterns 1 and 3 can be found by searching Ravelry patterns. Patterns 2 and 4 were my own spur-of-the-moment invention.
I'm now happily busy making dish towels for this same person (my little sister), at her request:
I hope these match her kitchen!
