Eskimimi Knits knitting blog

A pair of fun face cloths make a quick and cheery knit.

I am back in the land of the living internet, and now that I am properly connected I have uploaded the very simple patterns for these two easy face cloths in one PDF file to download. With 26 knitting days left until Christmas, these would be lovely tied with a ribbon alongside some luxury bath goods or a handmade bar of soap. Or maybe they’ll be a the perfect knit for you to enjoy a relaxing bath with, as a congratulatory treat for yourself after a hard day’s Christmas shopping?

Perfect for the young and the young-at-heart.

I decided to go ahead and frog the Hot Water Bottle cover I had been knitting at the saddest of times and try to find something small and frivolous to re-use the yarn on. As the yarn that I had been using was cotton, I decided to make a couple of small face cloths for one of my sisters who happens to collect rubber ducks. [edit: really, look, I now have proof]

I have no idea what is going on with her bath tub...

The funniest thing about this edit is that I sent her an email saying simply ‘can you please send me a picture of some of your bath ducks’ and she sent this in reply.  No text at all in her reply message.  I like that she knows not to bother asking ‘why?’.

Wrapping the face cloths with some hand-made soap will, I hope, make a nice, small, secondary gift to give with her Squaffle scarf.

This cheerful motif has a partnering design which I’ll post with a downloadable PDF of the pattern when I get to a more stable internet connection as I am currently experiencing the joys of Virgin Trains’ wireless internet service, which is more temperamental than a hormonal teenager.
