We’ve all had that moment when we needed something right then but had very little time to make or buy it. Often, while traveling with our trailer, I run out of washcloths to use. I try to keep lots of cotton yarn with me so it is good to have a simple pattern to whip up. This is a simple cloth that is just the right size for dishes, removing makeup and even as a mug mat.
