The new issue of Handmade Living is now on the newsstands and contains one of my first patterns: Rubber Ducky Face Cloths.

This is my most basic pattern, but as such it makes a good starter project for new knitters or those knitters who have been knitting a little while but have not yet made themselves familiar with knitting from charts, as it is simple enough to familiarise the knitter with how to orientate themselves around a chart, working both right and wrong side rows.

 The pattern is still available as a free PDF download to readers and makes a particularly lovely baby shower gift or as a treat wrapped up with a bar of handmade or luxury soap.
