Good day, dear readers!
Yes Yes Yes! I was not mistaken and your vision is fine. Oddly enough, today’s article is dedicated to the fair sex. Dear ladies, is your husband/brother/matchmaker/godfather/father-in-law/boss/friend a true connoisseur of velvet steam and a fragrant broom? In this case, red girls, you are incredibly lucky!

Why? Yes, because on the eve of this or that holiday you do not need to rack your brains over a gift. True “gourmets” of the sauna ceremony have a “burning passion” for accessories intended for use in the steam room.

So, for example, the most important item in the bathhouse is Her Majesty - the Washcloth. Her role is very difficult to overestimate. It has a cleansing, exfoliating, warming, anti-cellulite, activating, anti-inflammatory effect. No need to laugh. Gone are the days when a man had to be powerful, smelly and hairy.

In general, lovely ladies, a washcloth is a wonderful gift for a lover of bath procedures. I think there will be no difficulties in purchasing it, since the market is replete with all sorts of bath products. However, if you want to amaze a man to the depths of his soul, do not buy it, but make it yourself. And I’ll tell you how to knit a washcloth.

What material to use

You can purchase both natural and artificial threads. Materials of natural origin will make the grater a little more useful, but such things do not have a long service life.

This is interesting: things knitted from synthetic thread have an impressive service life, up to one year.

Threads are sold in any market, so purchasing them is not a difficult task. You have to choose from the following fabrics:

Crocheted washcloth

This master class is designed for those who do not know how to knit at all. The training begins with a story about how to properly hold the hook, ensuring its movement. The initial loops are also described in detail. The result is a chain of air loops, connected by a ring that serves as a cuff for the product. A row of single crochets is formed; five rows is enough.

In the next rows, elongated loops begin to form, which are draped over the thumb. The technique for creating these loops is discussed in detail on the screen. Further rows are knitted exactly the same until the washcloth reaches the specified length. You can change the color of the thread.

Capron

Women's tights that have become unusable can find a second life. Describing such crafts from scratch does not take much time. Creating nylon graters is very simple.

Good day, dear readers!

Yes Yes Yes! I was not mistaken and your vision is fine. Oddly enough, today’s article is dedicated to the fair sex. Dear ladies, is your husband/brother/matchmaker/godfather/father-in-law/boss/friend a true connoisseur of velvet steam and a fragrant broom? In this case, red girls, you are incredibly lucky!

From this article you will learn:

Acrylic

Robust and reliable structure with an impressive service life. You can also knit a pole with your own hands from jute. You can use manila fiber, burlap, rayon and nylon.

Important! The tied pole, after completing work on it, must be boiled in hot water for about 10-15 minutes.

This way you will make it softer and eliminate possible “factory” bacteria and odors. It is important to choose a high-quality tool, starting from the rigmarole used. We recommend choosing hooks with a round end.

Buy or make it yourself?

Our ancestors allowed only natural materials “to the body” so that the washing procedure was not only pleasant, but also useful. If you decide to make the main accessory for a bath or shower with your own hands, know that it is very simple.

You just need to have some patience, follow the rules for making the product and act extremely carefully. Then a really high-quality washcloth will appear in your home, which will not compare in its characteristics with cheap synthetic analogues from household chemicals supermarkets.

You can make a bath accessory from any material available to you. Some women prefer to sew this accessory from ordinary natural fabrics - cotton, chintz, etc., others make it from old terry towels, and still others weave it from burlap.

And especially sophisticated needlewomen even crochet from yarn!

The choice of material and type of weaving depends entirely on your personal preferences in this matter.

It is also worth soberly assessing your skills - if you have never knitted and have no idea how to do it, it is better to put aside the idea of creating an accessory using yarn and a hook.

So, how can you make a shower sponge with your own hands?

Types of washcloths

Many girls and women are simply unable to take a bath without such a bath accessory. A good and tough tap does an excellent job of ridding the body of dead skin cells, and also allows you to cleanse the pores and skin.

Washcloth without elongated loops

Work begins with a set of 30 air loops. The resulting chain is looped, and two rows are knitted with single crochets. The next row is knitted with single crochets. Next, the main pattern is knitted, consisting of three double crochets, with a gap of two double crochets between them.

The result is a beautiful pattern that also closes into a ring. This three-stitch pattern is repeated on all subsequent rows until the remaining length of the washcloth is knitted. The washcloth ends, as it began, with two single crochets. The washcloth is almost complete, all that remains is to tie the handles.

With hard and soft sides

At first glance, you might think that the method of knitting washcloths is a rather difficult craft, demanding on the skill level of the master.

However, this is not so - you can get ready-made needlework using a diagram and step-by-step instructions, adding to them a little attentiveness and perseverance.

The main skill that will be useful to you in business is the skill of knitting shaggy stakes. Before starting the lesson, you can practice and get your hands on a little.

To create a double-sided model, it is best to use hook No. 4. The fabric used is polypropylene thread, absolutely any kind.

You choose the color of the product yourself - you can make it in one tone, or choose several colors.

Please note: one surface will be pleasant, while the other will be dense and hard. The first one must be woven lengthwise, the second one – across.

Step by step guide:

First, you need to complete a chain, which determines the horizontal size.
The first and second lines are knitted from S/BN.
The third line will be different for colored and plain washcloths. If you have a variegated model, you need to knit an air loop using two threads, then make two S/BN stitches and finish with a fluffy stitch. The last column is recreated from the chain from which the length was determined.
To create a fluffy column you need 5 bars with a CAPAGE, secured using a weightless buttonhole. Then three cap pegs are knitted, and the procedure for creating a lush column is repeated again. You will have to weave in this way until the end of the column.
In the fourth column, an air buttonhole is constructed, then you need to move on to the non-cap posts, placing them in the buttonholes of the previous section. If your creation has more than one color, the last buttonhole is secured with two threads.
The fifth is knitted with yarn of the very first color, including a weightless buttonhole. Then you need to move on to alternating: 3 sc and a lush post. As a result, you will get a hedgehog washcloth.
The sixth line is scored in the same way as the fourth.
The seventh row is different if your item has several colors. In this case, at this stage, yarn of the next color is taken. Weaving is similar to the fifth line.
The eighth row completely repeats the fourth.
The design continues until you reach the required dimensions established by the very first chain. As you may have noticed, looped thread is the most important skill for knitting washcloths.

The second, silky surface is prepared from the beginning of the side, resulting in the process of working on the canvas. The procedure completely repeats the pattern of the hard side, with one exception: the lush bars must be knitted from three throw-on columns.

Their alternation occurs not through three columns, but through two. When you complete the second section, both planes are applied to each other and sewn together from the wrong side.

You can tie the completed creation along its entire length using a hook. All that remains is to add handles, which can be made from cotton ribbon.

Tip: do not forget to boil the finished washcloth - this will add softness.

How to choose threads

The best yarn for washcloths is single- or double-twisted polypropylene, but threads that are natural in composition are even more valued. The yarn should be strong and smooth. The thicker the thread, the stronger the product.

Jute. Eco-friendly washcloths are knitted from it. Jute yarn is made from the fibers of an annual plant grown in India and Egypt. A jute washcloth is moderately hard, it absorbs water well and lathers up. Daily exposure of jute to the skin stimulates blood circulation and improves metabolic processes in the dermis.
Hemp. Yarn made from hemp stem fibers. Its properties are similar to flax, but at the same time more durable and lighter. Products made from it do not lose their shape and do not stretch when exposed to moisture.
Lyko. It is made from linden or willow wood fibers. These washcloths are suitable for sensitive skin.
Loofah. Yarn made from grass fibers. Its effect on the skin is difficult to overestimate: pore cleansing, anti-cellulite massage, cell regeneration. At the same time, such a washcloth turns out to be very tough. The loofah holds its shape well, quickly soaks in water and lathers well.
Sisal. Agave fiber. Like any natural yarn, it has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin, but due to its increased rigidity, it is recommended to use this accessory no more than twice a week. The disadvantage of sisal is that it takes a long time to dry.
Linen. The most delicate material, suitable for baby washcloths, but before use, such an accessory must be steamed with hot water.
Cotton. Most often it is used for washcloths for babies. Such products are short-lived, but cotton is best suited for children's skin.
Capron. Such threads are usually thin, so they are knitted in several layers. The products are durable, but tend to stretch.
Polyethylene. For knitting, it is better to use industrially produced yarn, but experienced craftswomen can also indulge in creativity using homemade “threads” from ordinary plastic bags. The advantage of such washcloths is moderate rigidity and durability. The downside is poor absorption and the possibility of skin allergies.

"Bumps"

This is a beautiful and colorful handicraft, which is a real pleasure to use. For this task you will need to use equipment No. 5 and yarn of several colors.

The procedure consists of weaving a line of thirty-six loops, which is subsequently secured into a circle.

Step by step guide:

The first row is created using single crochet risers.
From the 2nd to the fourth line it is worth taking cap columns.
The image of cones is used as the main image of the washcloth. They are created to a maximum horizontal level determined by the wizard. The element consists of three yarn overs woven together. The cones alternate through two risers. Tip: The oval pattern should be staggered.
Since the “circle” weaving model is used, you should finish the needlework according to the same pattern in which you started, only in reverse order.
If you want to create handles, you can go two different ways: knit them separately and secure them, or start working on one and then move on to the second. The choice is yours.

Round washcloth for bathing

The washcloth-mitten, made of threads of various colors, resembles a fancy flower. To make it neat and fluffy, we work with one thread. We start with five air loops, which are looped and after one lifting loop are knitted in a circle using single crochets. In the next row, already elongated loops are knitted between the columns of the previous row, securing them with single crochets.

After the air lifting loop, a row is formed with single crochets, increasing their number: one and two stitches are knitted into cells in turn. Then a whole row of elongated loops is knitted again. Gradually other colors are included, and in the photo the washcloth resembles a flower.

"Spiral"

Another beautiful flat product that is a pleasure to give and use. The spiral consists of a double line, each of which includes forty-seven loops, fastened in a circle.

Detailed instructions for making a circular crocheted washcloth:

The first row is knitted from RLS. They need to be placed in each loop of the main line.
2 and all subsequent sections are performed with elongated loops attached to each block. As soon as you finish working on the six elements, you should take a thread of a different shade. The color change is ongoing.
The pattern, also called a “fox”, is created by shifting the shade by exactly one buttonhole in each section. Dimensions in length can be absolutely any. The process should be completed with the use of RLS. The washcloth-mitten is ready!

Single layer washcloth

When knitting this washcloth, elongated loops are knitted on both sides. To obtain a more fluffy washcloth, knitting was carried out in two threads. That is, two skeins are used or one, then the second end is additionally pulled from the inside. After casting on an air row of loops, a row of stitches with one crochet is knitted.

The next row is knitted without double crochet. After the third row, we begin knitting with elongated loops, forming them with the thumb. In the last stitch of the row, a single crochet stitch is knitted. After turning the work over, the next row is knitted with similar elongated loops, and they end up on the opposite side of the product.

Dish scrubber

Using knitting needles, you can knit flat sponges for washing dishes. Any synthetic material that is durable and reliable will do. You can work with a crochet hook or knitting needles.

For beginners, the simplest version is suitable - a scarf pattern. Its peculiarity lies in the need to knit loops in the front and back rows. Knitted sponges can also be in the form of mittens, which are convenient to work with.

For a thing with a diameter of about 10 centimeters, you should purchase only 20 grams of matter. It is better to choose a medium thickness gimp. The work is performed with instrument No. 4.

You can use structures of different shades to create a multi-colored pattern. In addition to the main tool, you will need scissors and a needle. On the Internet you can find many master classes and videos that will help you work on this creation.

Lush loofah

To make the washcloth look fluffy, you need to use a polypropylene thread folded in half. We begin the work with a set of thirty air loops and connect them with a ring. We knit a single crochet into each of the air loops. In the next row, single crochets alternate with single crochets. Then the same pattern is repeated.

Let's sum it up

This tutorial will help you knit a washcloth. As you may have noticed while reading, this is a fairly simple craft that can bring a lot of pleasure from the process itself.

A homemade item, enclosed in a beautiful package, will be an excellent gift option for March 8th or New Year. To truly please any woman, add shampoo, scrub or body milk to the grater. You can also knit children's washcloths-toys, with which you can surprise your kids. Good luck!

Double crochet washcloth

The product is knitted in the round and has two layers. Using double crochets allows you to knit a washcloth twice as quickly and at the same time reduce thread consumption. The washcloth turns out to be soft, gentle, and quite comfortable to wash with. Threads to create the product were used in two colors, since the product is made with a gradient.

We knit with two threads using crochet number 5. 35 air loops are cast on and closed with a ring. The next row is knitted with single crochets. Then the elongated loops are knitted with a double crochet. To make the loops elongated, they are formed using the thumb. The stitches knit together very quickly. Subsequent rows are knitted similarly.
