This year I thought it would be nice to have some coordinating washcloths. The face scrubbies are nice, but sometimes I want a larger washcloth for washing my face. I am so happy to have 4 new washcloth patterns for you all! I will be sharing 1 new pattern each Wednesday for four weeks.
And I couldn't resist putting all 8 patterns together into an E-book! The E-book is available for purchase, and it is on sale at 50% off for the duration of the Washcloth Wednesday series. I also have a super special deal for the people in my VIP group on Facebook. So go request to join to find the awesomeness there!
Today I will be sharing my Flower Washcloth. The Flower Face Scrubby pattern was a popular one last year. The washcloth pattern has the same petal style stitches which creates a beautiful texture that goes so well with the face scrubby.
Materials:
H Hook (5mm)
Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn #4
Scissors
Tape Measure to check gauge
Needle
Abbreviations (US terms):
Ch - chain
SC - single crochet
HDC – half double crochet
DC - double crochet
Sk – skip
Sl st - slip stitch
RS – right side
WS – wrong side
Notes:
Based on my tension, washcloth measures approximately 8 inches. You can increase/decrease the size of your washcloth by chaining a multiple of 5+2 sts. Example: for a smaller one, chain 27 sts and do fewer rows. For a larger one, chain 37 and do more rows. Alternatively, you can adjust your hook size to change the size of the washcloth.
