Washcloths!

I most definitely have a weakness for crocheted and knitted washcloths. It all started as part of a square exchange group I was a part of on Live Journal so many years ago. One square was not what I considered to be fit to send off, because it didn't turn out perfectly. Because it was cotton, I figured, eh, I'll just use it as a washcloth. I love it! However, I need more, so:

Pattern: Open Ridge Washcloth
Yarn: Peaches & Creme
Content: 100% Cotton
Color: Tea Rose (it's more of a pink-orange)
Hook: I / 5.5mm
Modifications : I accidentally began crocheting my sc row through the front loop, instead of the back, so just continued doing it throughout the pattern.


I came across the Open Ridge Washcloth pattern and loved it so much, I felt compelled to make some more washcloths.






I did not block it, because it's a washcloth.

Pattern: Open Ridge Washcloth
Yarn: SPA
Content: 75% acrylic / 25% bamboo
Color: Naturally
Hook: I / 5.5mm
Modifications : None, did everything correctly this time :)




I chose this yarn for the second one, so I could have a lovely soft yarn for a face washcloth.


Side A - here you can see the braided ridges that occur when you do your sc row correctly, through the back of the stitch :)


Side B





Overall, love my washcloths. It makes me want to try weaving some hand towels. I have a dislike for commercial hand towels. Oh yes, I have also joined The Great Sewn Potholder Swap of 2010. With all this free time now, I might as well dig into the crafts until I find a new job :)
