  Checked Edge Washcloth 

Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

The Checked Edge Washcloth is another Crochet Pattern

 in my Cotton Yarn Series. It's a lovely simple pattern that is

 wonderful for everyday use, and also makes great gifts.

It's a great way to use up some cotton yarns, and mix

 and match the yarn colors to make something beautiful. 

I designed it using 2 colors but you can use 3 or more.

I used Peaches and Cream cotton yarn from my yarn stash

 and I really love the sweet look of the washcloth.

It looks a little complicated but once you get going on

 it, you will see it's not really complicated at all.

You will want to stitch a bunch of them.

Washcloth Pattern - Free Knitting Pattern for Beginners | Posh Pooch Designs

A Sweet Friend of mine that is learning to knit, 

 asked if I had a knit pattern for a washcloth.

She wanted more of a face cloth size, 

not a regular size washcloth.

I did not have one, only crochet ones.

I directed her to some knitting patterns

 but she wanted something a little smaller.

She gave me a crocheted one that was 

about the size she was looking for.

She said it is the perfect size

 for washing a baby.

Since she is a beginner,

 I designed a beginner wash cloth.

 It is nothing fancy

 and I am sure has been done before,

But this is what I came up with.

A 9 X 9.5 basic knit wash cloth

I loved it so much I made a 

bunch to put in my guest bathroom.

I tie pretty ribbon around them,

With a thank you note for guests.

They are the perfect size 

for taking off your makeup, 

washing your face, or washing a baby.

And for washing my furbabies.

 to practice a few basic stitches 

and make something you will be proud to show off.
