The Chinese Waves inspired me to knit cosmetic cloths.
3-Corner Cosmetic Cloth
100% Cotton. 100% Reusable.
I used the modified Chinese Wave pattern on the diagonal.
I don't use disposable cosmetic wipes. I was always folding a square face cloth into a small triangle so this 3 corner cloth works perfect for me, and has less bulk. Just toss in a lingerie bag for easy washing.
Pisgah Yarn & Dyeing Co., Inc Peaches & Creme Solids
To make my 3 corner cloth: I used one strand of Peaches and Cream cotton yarn and followed the pattern to 27 stitches on the needle and bound off. For a finer gauge and even softer cloth I plan to knit more in Rowan's Cotton Handknit, single strand. I knit up larger ones for face cloths using Peaches and Cream.
I boiled the 3 corner cloth in water for 5 minutes, cooled enough to squeeze out excess water and tossed it in the dryer. It shrunk from 6” to 3” across the top and from 3” to 2.5” in length unstretched. I used scrap yarn and didn't think to measure the yardage. If I knit more using this yarn I will post the yardage.
A quick knit! 100% cotton, 100% reuseable. I thank Margaret K. K. Radcliffe for the Chinese Waves pattern and ailurokat (Ravelry) for the modifications to knit the pattern on the diagonal.
