Great for everybody, men, women and children. It is reversible so works for dishcloths, washcloths , scarves and blankets.

I have  knitted for a long time, but a lot of things I’m very new at or I don’t know. My question is, can this pattern be needed with knitting needles. If so what size would I use?. Thank you. I don’t know how to knit on a loom.

God bless,
Wren Langley,
A big Marty Robbins fan.
