Free Crochet Pattern- Strong and Durable Washcloth | Cherry and Crochet Designs

 Strong and Durable Washcloth 

This simple and long lasting washcloth is super simple, very quick and could easily be your first project. It is versatile, customisable and scrap busting. Making it in stripes is an even better way to use up scraps and make a functional, multipurpose and simple end product, which would be perfect for gifting, especially if paired with a luxury handcrafted soap. It is made using any two strands of double knitting yarn for extra scrubbiness and strength. The pattern itself uses only full terms, no abbreviations, making it even easier for beginners.
