PERFECTLY PRETTY FACECLOTH OR BABY WASHCLOTH
I used Patons BumbleBee Baby Cotton in Petunia(I know it's discontinued, but I purchased it off of eBay-you could use Sugar N Cream SPORTSWEIGHT or any sportsweight $100\%$ cottonor $100\%$ baby cotton) or use regular worsted cotton and an H hook (or I, whichever you prefer)-the cloth will just be slightly biger. Stitches used: Ch, sc and dc-this is a variation of a sedge stitch
Materials:
