With Thanksgiving just a couple days away, I grabbed some yummy Plymouth Yarn Fantasy Naturale from my yarn stash and set to work making a couple of washcloths. If you are not a loose knitter, you can likely make two washcloths with a single hank using this pattern, but you won't have any leftovers.
If you feel extra fancy and know how to crochet, I recommend adding a single crochet border around your washcloth, but it is not required.
