Washcloth Wednesday Part 1 - Flower Washcloth

Last year I designed 4 face scrubby patterns and released them in a Face Scrubby Friday series. I absolutely loved that series. And the face scrubbies have become some of my favorite things to use. I love that I never have to buy cotton facial rounds or cotton balls anymore. I have a set of scrubbies for removing makeup, and a set of scrubbies for removing nail polish.

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

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

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.
