Because the Spring and Summer washcloths were so popular at my LYS last summer, I decided to make a holiday sampler as well. There are 15 charted designs in this booklet. Please note that the directions are not written out (k5, p3, k2).

There are directions for making a washcloth, hand towel and baby blanket using both moss stitch and garter stitch as edgings.

Please look below for specifics for each project. Thank you!
