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.

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.

Flower Child Collection - Free Crochet Pattern #3

The third and final pattern in the Flower Child Collection is the original headband pattern that I created. I am sharing it for free for the first time since I published it for sale three years ago. It has been one of my most popular items on my Etsy shop because it works for babies, children, and adults. You can find the written instructions below. You can also find the full photo tutorial in the E-book on my Ravelry.

Materials:

C Hook (2.75 mm)

Aunt Lydia’s Crochet Cotton size 10

(I like to use white and yellow)

Scissors

Large eye needle for weaving in ends

Abbreviations:

Ch - chain

Sc - single crochet

Dc - double crochet

Sl st - slip stitch

RS – right side

WS – wrong side

Notes: 

Based on my tension, each flower measures approximately 1 inch. From the 1^st flower to the 10^th, the headband measures approximately 10 inches, with 10.5 inch ties on either side. By switching up your hook and/or yarn, or even the number of flowers, you can adjust the size of the whole headband.

Instructions:

1.  Ch 70, DO NOT cut the white thread.

2.  Join yellow thread, and ch1. Again, DO NOT cut the white thread.

3.  Sc 6 in last white chain.

4.  Join with sl st to first sc. Cut yellow thread leaving a couple inches for weaving in. Join white thread at the place where you joined the sc’s together.

5.  Ch 2, 3 dc in same st as join. Ch 2, sl st in same st. Sl st into next sc.

6.  Repeat step 5 until you have 6 total petals. Join with sl st to first petal.

7.  Ch 7

8. Repeat steps 2 through 6.

9. Keep repeating steps 2 through 6 with 7 chains in between each flower. After the 10^th flower, ch 70 to make the other tie.

Finishing:

Knot the ends of the ties right at the last chain of each tie. I use the yellow ends on each flower to secure down the flowers in place. Weave in the yellow ends.
