Description
Create a little spa day for yourself or someone special with this quad of soft cotton facecloths. Wrap them with a bar of handmade soap or face wash for a lovely gift. (This is a great project for leftovers with any plant-based yarn: linen, hemp, cotton, or blends.)
Note: Always check for colorfastness when using two colors in the same project. Knit a small swatch with both colors and wet block the swatch before you begin.
