Charming Washcloth free crochet pattern

 


For a washcloth, you'll most likely want to use cotton yarn. Cotton holds it's shape better than acrylic, because it is a strong natural fiber with less stretch than acrylic, which is essentially plastic. However, it may shrink a bit in the first washes. Combat this by making it a little larger than you want the washed item to end up. 
Handmade cotton washcloths are quite durable, they work well, and they can be much softer than store-bought!
Let's make a lightly textured washcloth you'll keep for a long time. 

Chain 41.
Row 1: 40sc in the back bumps of the chains
Row 2: 1 SC. *SC inc, skip 1. Repeat until last stitch, sc1.

Repeat Row 2 until desired length. (Make a square.)
Last row: 40sc. Bind off, weave in ends. 



**If you need assistance locating cotton yarn, I recommend 24/7 cotton by Lion Brand, or Lily Sugar N Cream/Peaches N Cream for affordable options.

Cute Cottagecore Crochet Pattern Roundup #2

 Pattern Roundup #2 I have a special love for cottagecore, gardening, and herbs.. and it feels so rewarding to combine my crochet interests with a cottage aesthetic. Here are fun cottagecore themed crochet patterns from Etsy! Wearables 1.  This is a beautiful Fern Scarf to drape around your shoulders as you inspire both fear and awe in your neighborhood 2.  The fairytale bonnet really looks like something you'd put on to enjoy a walk in the woods looking for fairy rings. This maker is one of my favorites. 3.  This sweet bucket hat style mushroom cap is so dreamy with that little bit of whimsical "ribboning effect" that reminds me of mushroom gills. Use caution, though, as the pattern maker is restricting this to personal usage.  4.   the Elwyn Hood looks cute and cozy, but also like you might be an herbal witch living in a cave. It has all the vibes.  5.   The Foxglove bucket hat is another one from The Entangled Fae, and I just find...

Resources

As I've been leveling up in my crochet and knit journey I've been using  Pinterest  more and more to keep track of patterns. I had stopped using Pinterest for a while but gosh now I'm pinning at least once a day. When I started bookmarking blogs with free patterns it was like a lightbulb 💡 moment for me-- there were so many good patterns, I needed Pinterest. I'm an eclectic kind of gal but Pinterest lets me explore many aesthetics.  I've also realized how effective Ravelry can be as a resource, so I'm slowly learning how to use it in a way that's beneficial to me. I'm considering hosting my free patterns there, rather than in the blog.  I'm planning some projects like these knitted slippers , a cute crocheted  tank top , and this  knitted crop top .
