Super Simple Blue Washcloth
This washcloth is an ideal first project for beginners, using only one stitch and the pattern uses no abbreviations, only full terms. It could be made with any double knitting yarn, and an ideal way to use up tiny scraps is by making it stripey. Not only is this eco friendly, but also frugal and would make an ideal gift for someone, especially if paired with a luxury bar of soap or hand cream. It could be used as a facecloth, body cloth, cleaning cloth or washing up cloth. It is so versatile that you could make a big set of them and give them out at Christmas. They take around 30 minutes each to make, depending on how quickly you crochet.
You will need
4.5mm crochet hook
Double knitting yarn in colour of your choice (or multiple if you are making it stripey)
Washcloth
Chain 26
Row 1) Single crochet in 2nd chain from hook, single crochet in each remaining chain. Turn
Row 2-26) Chain 1, single crochet in each stitch. (You can finish here if you would rather not do the edging)
Single crochet 2 stitches in the last stitch of row 26, then single crochet along the side of the square, placing 1 single crochet in the side of each single crochet. Single crochet 2 stitches in the last stitch of the side and then single crochet in the bottom of row 1. Single crochet 2 stitches in the corner and then single crochet 1 stitch in the side of each single crochet row along the side. Single crochet 1 stitch in the first stitch of row 26 and slip stitch to the first stitch of row 26. Fasten off and weave in ends.
