Free Pattern: Avocado Toast Washcloth

When I released my Avocado Washcloth pattern back in September, I had intended to release this Avocado Toast Washcloth very shortly after. But like most designs, I realized my original intentions weren’t quite going to work and so I put it aside, 15 rows in, for about 8 months.

Like the Avocado Washcloth, I was quite surprised there isn’t already an Avocado Toast washcloth on Ravelry, so hopefully you like this one! It is reversible, though I do think the toast looks better with the reverse stockinette background.

As with the other washcloth patterns I highly recommend blocking your finished piece, I use a steam block for all my washcloth patterns.
