Simple Washcloths

Simple Washcloths

Here’s my newest, completed project, “Simple Washcloth” design. Quick and easy — two of my favorite words!!!

I used Peaches & Creme Cotton yarn and a 4.0 mm hook.  I think they turned out gorgeous and I’m going to give them to my daughter-in-law, Brooke. 

Size: 8” x 8 1/2”

1.  Chain 32.  Single crochet in second chain from hook and across. Chain 1 and turn. (31)

2-36.  Single crochet in each stitch across. Chain 1 and turn. (31)

37.  Single crochet in each stitch across. (31)

Border:

You can continue working with your yarn or you can switch to a complimenting color. 

Note:  For the border, you will place 2 single crochet stitches in each corner stitch. 

1.  Single crochet across the top.  Now, evenly work a single crochet stitch in each end stitch down the side. Then, single across the bottom and then up the last side.  Slip stitch join to the first stitch. Fasten off and weave ends. 

Happy Crocheting...

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.
