For a washcloth, you'll most likely want to use cotton yarn. Cotton holds it's shape better than acrylic, because it is a strong natural fiber with less stretch than acrylic, which is essentially plastic. However, it may shrink a bit in the first washes. Combat this by making it a little larger than you want the washed item to end up.
Handmade cotton washcloths are quite durable, they work well, and they can be much softer than store-bought!
Let's make a lightly textured washcloth you'll keep for a long time.
Row 1: 40sc in the back bumps of the chains
Row 2: 1 SC. *SC inc, skip 1. Repeat until last stitch, sc1.
Repeat Row 2 until desired length. (Make a square.)
Last row: 40sc. Bind off, weave in ends.
**If you need assistance locating cotton yarn, I recommend 24/7 cotton by Lion Brand, or Lily Sugar N Cream/Peaches N Cream for affordable options.
