Candy Cane Striped Washcloth Crochet Pattern

 Candy Cane Striped Washcloth

 Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

The Candy Cane Striped Washcloth

Crochet Pattern 

 is a C2C or Corner To Corner Crochet Stitch. 

Some People Call it a Crochet technique.

I think it's really fun to crochet And sure hope you

 enjoy stitching some up.

It consists of of 2 rows of 2 different colors of yarn

 to form the stripe pattern and a 3rd color for trim.

I love how it looks and will brighten up 

your Christmas and Holiday decorations.

It is designed to be a 9 X 9 inch washcloth.

It is a perfect size to use as a small doily for a 

candy dish, candle or any festive decoration.

I chose to use I Love This Cotton from Hobby Lobby

 because I had it on hand in my yarn stash. 

You can use any medium (4) weight cotton 

yarn you prefer.
