So I made these beautiful washcloths nearly a year ago for a friend’s bridal shower. I thought they were a very elegant bridal gift. I gifted her a set of 4 and wrote down the pattern as I so often do. Fast forward several months, and I thought a matching towel would be a great addition. So I decided to whip up another set of washcloths and a hand towel for my bathroom.
Given the state of the world right now with the awful coronavirus bearing its horrible head, I feel like this is perfect timing as we remind people to constantly wash their hands. And what better way to dry those hands than on some beautiful, thick 100% cotton towels?
