Washcloth Wednesday Part 3 - Sunburst Washcloth

Guess what day it is?! It's Wednesday again, which means it's time for another washcloth pattern. This week, I'm sharing my Sunburst Washcloth pattern that I based on the Sunburst Face Scrubby. This pattern features cluster stitches and picots for a washcloth that is easily adjustable to make larger or smaller.
