Garter Stitch Washcloths

A Knitting Pattern by Liz Chandler @PurlsAndPixels

The Garter Stitch Washcloths PDF Knitting Pattern makes it easy to knit something that’s both pretty and practical. With just the knit stitch and a bit of cotton yarn, you can make soft, squishy cloths that actually get used—no purling, no counting, and no overthinking.

This pattern includes all three sizes: a small face scrubby, a standard washcloth, and a full hand towel. Each one is knit flat in rows, using simple garter stitch to create that familiar, bouncy texture. It’s beginner-friendly, soothing to knit, and makes a perfect little gift or a drawer full of everyday favorites.

Grab some worsted weight cotton yarn in your favorite color, settle in, and let your hands do the relaxing work. The Garter Stitch Washcloths PDF Knitting Pattern keeps things simple and sweet, just the way we like it.

How Garter Stitch Washcloths are Made

These washcloths are knit flat using simple garter stitch, which means you’ll knit every row: no purling required.

Materials

I designed these Garter Stitch Washcloths using Lily Sugar ‘n Cream 100% Cotton Yarn. But any 100% cotton worsted weight yarn should substitute beautifully in this pattern.

Skills

This is a beginner knitting skill level pattern that requires a general understanding of casting on, turning your work, the knit stitch, binding off, and weaving in loose ends. If you are not familiar with these skills, find quick, free lessons in my Learn to Knit Guide.

Plus, you can watch a full video tutorial on how to knit this washcloth in my lesson here.

Care

If you use the materials called for in the pattern, your final product will be machine washable. To keep your washcloth looking its best, hand wash or machine wash separately on delicate cycle in cold water. You may tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to dry.
