Yarn: Any worsted weight acrylic, for supreme scrubbing power! (although cotton is fine if
you're going to use it for something more sensitive, like skin)
Needles: US 7 or 8, whichever you're comfortable with.

Cast on 76 sts.
Row 1: K8, P15, K15, P15, K15, P8
Row 2: P8, k15, P15, K15, P15, K8

Repeat these two rows once more. Do not cut yarn, carry it up along the side instead. The less
ends to weave in, the better! :)

With contrast color, work row 1 and 2 once.

With main color, work row 1 and 2 twice.

Cast off loosely, making sure to keep a 3-4 inch tail for seaming.

PS: Don't worry if your tension isn't exactly the same when you knit and purl; it won't show in This is what
the finished tawashi anyway! your

Fold the long end to the back again, and pull through. See
that blue area? That's the end going nicely through the loop.
Pull it all the way through.

Seam short ends together with mattress stitch, yay!
