Alum Bay Wash Set

The Alum Bay three-piece wash set was inspired by the beautiful coast of the Isle of Wight. The three stripes reflect the uniquely colourful mineral-rich sands, often layered in bottles as classic keepsakes.

The simple wavy texture is a combination of 2 basic stitches, making this an elegant yet beginner-friendly pattern.

Each cloth is worked as one piece for added strength and durability, as well as giving you fewer ends to weave in! You’ll be working in rows, then creating a small hanging loop in one corner and continuing around each edge with a picot border.

Each cloth is finished off with a hanging loop for hygiene purposes and practicality – helping the fabric dry after use – and a simple picot border. You

can, however, omit these final steps if your prefer.

While this pattern was designed as a wash set, you could use the face scrubbie as a coaster, the wash cloth as a pot holder / washing up cloth, and the hand towel as a tea towel – the choice is yours!
