Broken Rib Knit Washcloth

This washcloth uses the broken rib stitch to create a soft, absorbent texture that looks more intricate than it is. The alternating rib pattern gives it structure and makes it great for everyday bathroom or kitchen use.

Materials
– 100% cotton worsted weight yarn (approx. 50g)
– 4.5 mm knitting needles
– Tapestry needle
– Scissors

Instructions

Cast On: 41 stitches (odd number ensures symmetry).
Pattern Rows:
- Row 1 (RS): K1, P1 to last stitch, K1
- Row 2 (WS): Knit all stitches
Repeat Rows 1–2 until the washcloth measures approx. 20 cm
Bind Off: In pattern on RS
Finishing: Weave in all ends. Lightly block for shaping.

How To

Why “Broken” Rib? The mix of rib and plain knit rows breaks the stretchiness, giving a flatter texture.
Yarn Tip: Use 100% cotton for washability and grip.
Size Customization: Increase cast-on stitches by multiples of 2 for wider cloths.
Beginner Friendly: Very easy to memorize and forgiving for small mistakes.
Usage: Works great as a face cloth, baby wipe, or kitchen sponge alternative.
