Here is one basic pattern (of many out there) for a Knitted Washcloth. Shauna uses this one the most because she has it memorized and doesn't have to think too much as she is making them.

Size 8 knitting needles
Yarn--100% cotton yarn from Peaches 'n Creme or Sugar 'n Cream.
Cast on 35 stitches
Knit next 4 (or 5) rows
Start pattern--
Row 1: K3, Purl til last 3 stitches, K3
Row 2: K entire row
Repeat those 2 rows 11 times
Then knit 6 rows
Repeat pattern--
Row 1: K3, Purl til last 3 stitches, K3
Row 2: K entire row
Repeat those 2 rows 11 times
Knit 5 rows
Bind off and tie in loose ends. Finished size ends up being roughly 9 inches square. So adjust accordingly if you want a larger washcloth.

Thanks, Shauna, we all love the washcloths.
Here is another site I found that has a bunch of free patterns for knitted washcloths. Knitting Pattern Central is also a great place to find ANY kind of pattern you want. The link I posted is for their dishcloth section--loads and loads of styles to download for free.
Holy Smokes I never knew she made one for each of the girls at camp!
