Knitting a facecloth

I think towels and facecloths are made from a different kind of cotton, or maybe it is processed differently. I would advise you to try one first and see how it survives the laundry. It may lose it's softness very quickly!

Hey, that's an awesome idea! Great for christmas/birthday gifts & great to sell if you have an etsy or similar store! I would love to try one...maybe you could tell me the material you used & a basic pattern? You definitely have a great thing happening!

I do quite a few dishcloths too, they seem to last way longer than the storebought ones. That is an excellent idea making face cloths. Would be a good way to use up extra yarn. I don't knit, but I do crochet, so I think that would work too. Did you use cotton type yarn? I use that when making dishcloths, but I'm thinking it might be scratchy for a face cloth. I have lots and lots of poly-blend snippets of yarn in a bag, I wonder if that would work as well.

Home made cleaning cloths of all kinds are great. I make some crocheted dishcloths. Another cute thing I have seen that can be done in knit or crochet is a "soap saver" bag. Make a little pouch about the size of a cell phone and put any leftover soap scraps in itl. Of course if you never use bar soap then you will not have any soap scraps. You are doing so many creative and frugal things I bet it feels really great.

I want one... Those are beautiful, Masihi, thanks for sharing your talent and skill...

Hi, Masihi. I love your washcloth. It is very pretty and unique! You have done a great job at making your own face cloth! You should open up a business for this creative idea! You are very smart!

I like to make cloths as well. I crochet them with cotton yarn. So far, I've mostly made dishcloths. I have given a few as gifts and my family seems to love them. I've crocheted bath mitts and they work very well and they keep their softness well. Anything I've crocheted from cotton yarn stays soft and is great for scrubbing!

THat is a big washcloth! My daughter crochets them well for dishes.....and they last forever....are very tough so they are good for dishes. I haven't used any for the body though.

Masihi, it is good to see you managed to knit a few types of cloths for your own use. I remembered when i was young before, my mother would knit tablecloth or even sweeter for us. I really adored the sweeter that she knitted for me because it was colorful piece. But unfortunately, now i can't wear it anymore. She knitted it for me when i was only aged 8 at that time.

Lovely facecloth. What did you use to knit it? Is it cotton? I also liked the colours and the way you knitted it diagonally.Congratulations! Maybe you can make those bedspreads I told you about putting them together.

For me that's good in your life keep up the good work be happy anytime.

Wow, that's a beautiful washcloth you made there! Knitting was one of my favorite activities when I was a lot younger. We had Home Economics in school, and knitting was one of the crafts I loved to do. There was a cartoon show that I watched before and it was said there that knitting is a good activity for hyperactive and angry children because it calms them. I don't know how true it is. Funny taking an advice from a cartoon show!

Very talented! I love the colors and looks like a very nice face/body cloth. Bet you can get even more creative and complete a full size blanket one day. I bet it feels real good to finish one of your projects.

Hi Masihi What type of yarn are you using? There is a so called Sugar and Cream that I have used to make perfect dishcloths. And they last forever! I made one for an elderly neighbor and she got me to make her a couple more. She says they never wear out. If you are using this yarn, your right it is soft and it also does not really go out of form when you wash it. Glad you found an additional use for them. I like using the sugar and cream yarn because they are varigated colors or you can make a solid color. Personally I enjoy doing the varigated colors as it mentally makes me think I am not always doing the same color. Like you I can only knit squares or an afghan. I have not learned to knit all the different stitches. I am just greatful for what I do know because I make 4" squares for an organization that uses these to make blankets for babies. But summer time I generally cross stitch more because it gets hot working with the material. I will be starting back on the knitting here in a few weeks. Thanks so much for sharing. Love hearing what others do as well.

What a great idea! I've made several dishcloths so I should make some washcloths as well. I love to knit!

do you knit as hobby or you knit as business? what a lovely facecloth you made, I just started crocheting 2 months ago and Im going to try knitting. I like the combination of colors you are using, well I still have problem to find the knitting needles because I live in small village, I can find crochet hook easily but not the knitting needle. Im already bookmarked knitting video tutorial, I will try to knit as soon as I get the needle. and I probably will try to knit a facecloth. excellent job, please do upload more pictures of your knitting work I would love to see it as inspiration.

My attempts at knitting were short-lived. Most people I know who do it enjoy it. I didn't. Any kind of needlework makes me nervous. I'm glad you are able to have the satisfaction of making beautiful and useful things for yourself, your family, and your friends. Maybe you will someday be able to make a business of it.

thats a good idea i also love to knit i dont think i am exactly addicted as i do not do it very often but i do love making things right now i am working on making a sweater thats a kind of autum color and a camoflage blanket it is a fleecy material and will be so warm when its finished last year right before it got cold i knitted my maltese dog a sweater so by the time we got ice and snow he was able to stay warm when i get the chance i plan on making another blanket and a purse
