Colorful Fall Washcloths

With Fall right upon us, I thought I’d get an early start on a few projects!!! First up, my mom absolutely loves the Cotton Washcloths I had made her several years ago. She’s been requesting me to make her some new ones. So, I decided to make her a set of 5 in gorgeous Fall colors.

I used a 5.5mm hook and simple stitches consisting of single and half double crochet stitches. This project works up quickly, super cute, and sure to please the recipient with its softness.
