This knitted face cloth pattern is the perfect compliment to any face cleanser. It is thick and absorbent with just enough texture to give your face a good exfoliation without damaging the sensitive skin of your face. One side is a little bit nubby, the other side is full of little pockets. Perfect for really working up a lather.

If you are making this as a gift for a man or someone who does not appreciate delicate femininity, you can omit the lacy trim.

This is part of my Knitted Spa Gift Set. You can find the hand towel and shower bag/soap cover in other posts.

Knit Face Cloth Pattern

Materials:

Bernat Ultrasoft Cotton: Hot Green 1 ball (42.5grs)

Small amount Patons Grace Cotton: White (optional)

Size 5mm (8) knitting needles

Size 2.5mm crochet hook

Gauge: Gauge is not important for this pattern. I use 37 stitches because I like a smaller face cloth but you can make it as large as you like. Just cast on an odd number of stitches to the size you prefer.

Directions:

CO 37 sts

Row 1: (WS) knit

Row 2: *K1, slip 1. Repeat from * to last st. K1

Repeat these 2 rows until face cloth is the desired size.

Bind off.

Optional Trim:

I have used the cross and clover stitch in my trim but you can use any trim pattern you like or omit the trim all together.

With fingering weight cotton, attach yarn and work a row of sc evenly around the cloth, join.

Next row: Ch3, dc in last sc of previous row, *sk 1 sc, dc in next, dc in skipped sc. Repeat from * around. join.

Next row: *Ch3, slip st into 1st ch of ch3, ch5, sl st in 1st ch of ch 5, ch 3, sl st in 1st ch of ch3, sl st in next sc. Repeat from * around. Fasten off.

Finishing: Weave in ends. Block and press using a pressing cloth.

I hope you enjoy making these knitted face cloths. If you like a fancy kitchen you could also use this pattern to create pretty knitted dish cloths.
