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
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.

Windmill Face Scrubby - Free Crochet Pattern

I ran out of cotton pads to wash my face, and with a two month old baby, I rarely go out unless I have to. So since I didn't want to go to the store to replace them right away, I had to figure out something else. I had a stash of partially used skeins of cotton yarn so I decided to play around and make my own reusable ones. I came up with 4 face scrubby patterns that I will be sharing here on my blog every Friday, starting today, and the next 3 weeks. I am calling it Face Scrubby Friday!

The first week of Face Scrubby Friday is the Windmill pattern. I wanted a scrubby that had a little texture to it, and using the Front Post Double Crochet stitch seemed like the way to go.

Materials:

G Hook (4mm)

Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn #4 (like Lily Sugar and Cream yarn)
Scissors
Needle for weaving in ends

Gauge:
Scrubby measures approximately 3 ½ inches.
I tend to crochet tightly, so check your gauge and adjust hook size accordingly.

Abbreviations (US terms):
CH - Chain
Sl St – Slip Stitch
DC – Double Crochet
FPDC – Front Post Double Crochet
RSC – Reverse Single Crochet (also known as Crab Stitch)
St(s) – Stitch(es)
RS – Right Side
WS – Wrong Side

Notes:
Repeat sections are notated with *  *
Ch 3 counts as a DC

1. Ch 3 (counts as DC), DC 11 in ring. Pull ring tight to close. Sl st to top of ch 3 to join. (12 sts)

2. Ch 3 (counts as DC), FPDC around ch 3 from previous round. *DC in the top of the next st, FPDC around the SAME st.* Repeat around. Sl st to top of ch 3 to join. (24 sts)
