Baby Trekkie Washcloth
Baby Trekkie Washcloth
By Samantha @ http//milotis.wordpress.com
I created this washcloth for my cousin’s baby, because my cousin and his wife love Star Trek … they even had the theme from Star Trek Enterprise as their wedding song. I googled and found a Star Trek logo, printed it up and graphed it. I am pretty excited at how well the cloth turned out. So far no one hasn’t been able to tell what the picture is … that’s a good thing, eh?
Materials
Worsted weight dishcloth or baby cotton – I used Lily Sugar Babies cotton, which has been discontinued, but Lily Sugar n’ Cream or Bernat Cottontots would work well too.

Tapestry needle.

Thanks for this great pattern! I loved making it and it’s going to be the best gift for my friend who is having a baby. I love it!
I’m casting on another one tonight!
A wonderful pattern, Samantha! I just used it to make some Starfleet socks, so I wanted to drop by and say thanks for putting it together!
Um, I’m going to make a couple of these for a baby…OK, who am I kidding? I’m making these for me. Very cool.
[...] year when I found the baby trekkie washcloth I knew I had to make it up. I almost made it in red, but we all know what happens to the crew member [...]
Awesome! I am going to add you to my list of sci fi inspired crafts.
