Washcloth ‘I love you’ – Double Knitting Instructions

Whether for Valentine's Day, a birthday or just because, this washcloth is a heartfelt gift that is sure to bring joy. And every time it is used. So, let's get to the needles. The washcloth is double knitted and is easy to knit and finished quickly thanks to the row by row description.
Since the lettering should be legible on both sides (with regular double knitting it would appear in mirror image on the back of the piece), it is knitted differently on both sides. Don't be scared. This is not as difficult as it seems. The rows with the lettering just need good concentration. Since these rows are also written out completely, anyone who has a little experience with knitting double face should be able to rework them. For those who prefer this, there is also a description of the lettering knitted using the regular double knitting technique.
Have fun reworking and giving as a gift!

You will receive an 11-page instruction with a row-by-row description of the washcloth. The instructions contain both a row by row description to knit the lettering so that it is legible on both sides and a row by row description to knit the lettering so that it appears in mirror image on one side. The instructions also include a clear counting pattern for the washcloth.

Level of difficulty:
Easy - medium
If you can follow the exercises from my free basic pattern Double Face Knitting (https://www.crazypatterns.net/en/items/97086/double-face-knitting-a-tutorial), you can at least knit the version where the lettering appears mirrored on one side.
