Simple Spa Cloth Collection #14 – Tunisian Crochet Pattern
The Simple Spa Cloth Collection is designed to make beautiful matching cloths using Tunisian crochet knit stitch. This is a good way to learn a new stitch while repeating them. This fourteenth cloth in the collection features the knit stitch, which results in a beautiful fabric that resembles knitting on one side, but not on the other. It’s easy to make, but looks difficult. Make them as a gift for someone special.

I recommend to start off by making the wash cloth first. That way you can make one from beginning to end and feel accomplished right away. Next, move onto the large cloth to complete the set.
I’m loving this spa tub and setting! I’m caring for my Mom and her home is like a magazine, every room is a calming, feast for your eyes and spirit. I really enjoy pulling things together from around the house to put in my photos. Hope you enjoy them.
This spa set is made by using the Tunisian Knit Stitch. I love the result of this stitch with the rows of V’s on the front. The edges do curl a lot, so I recommend blocking it.
My daughter and I made our first batch of rose soaps recently. It was fun as we experimented with colors and rose petals. You can check out the video tutorial here. They go great with these collections.
This small bar of white gardenia soap packs a big punch, the beautiful fragrance is filling up my room.
Here is a look at the back of the large cloth below. It has a beautiful result with raised rows.
