Here is another nicely textured knitted square. The rows of garter stitch rib stand up from the background giving it wonderful texture that would be great for a washcloth for your bath or shower. Use kitchen cotton so that it will absorb water. You will be surprised how heavy and soft knitted washcloths are and you will not want to use anything else!
