El Rey Viejo Washcloth

For several years, I’ve been crafting various versions of this beloved washcloth pattern, known as “El Rey Viejo.” Featuring a delightful broken rib body section accompanied by a beautifully designed knitted-on border, this washcloth is my absolute favorite. It offers an enjoyable knitting experience, serves as a functional kitchen essential, and adds a touch of beauty to any setting. The unique knitted-on border with short row corners and elegantly grafted ends adds a bit of flair and sophistication to the overall design. This pattern was created in honor of a dear friend's father, which gives it a special sentimental value.

If you’re new to knitted-on edgings, short row corners, or grafting ends, this pattern is an excellent way to try something fresh and exciting! It's not only easy to knit but also perfect for knitters of varying skill levels who wish to expand their repertoire. The combination of texture and visual appeal makes this washcloth both practical and pretty, making it an ideal handmade gift or personal treat.
