Great Pumpkin Patch Washcloth

This knit washcloth, like my others, is very simple, using only knits and purls to create the shape of 3 large and squat pumpkins, reminiscent of that fall classic – the pumpkin patch. Or if you’re a fan of certain seasonal television special, things seen in The Great Pumpkin. The washcloth is reversible, so you can choose your favourite side!

Finished knit Great Pumpkin Patch Washcloth before blocking and ends being woven in.

Use the tapestry needle to weave in your ends. It is recommended that you block your washcloth, I favour steam-blocking for these.
