Free pretty facecloths knitting pattern

Picture of free pattern for pretty facecloths 

I love how practical facecloths are while still being pretty, these would make a lovely baby gift. Knitting patterns include the pretty dipped facecloth and the pretty baby facecloth. The pretty baby facecloth knitting pattern is quite easy and knits up quickly while the dipped facecloth knitting pattern is a little bit harder.

Thanks for sharing your pattern. I am going to try and knit a facecloth. The ones I buy never seem to last very long. Can't think why I haven't thought to knit one before.

Hi, thanks. I started knitting them for gifts to add something handmade but I love them so much I made myself some too.
