Weekly Wash #10: Washcloths in a Jif

We’ve all had that moment when we needed something right then but had very little time to make or buy it. Often, while traveling with our trailer, I run out of washcloths to use. I try to keep lots of cotton yarn with me so it is good to have a simple pattern to whip up. This is a simple cloth that is just the right size for dishes, removing makeup and even as a mug mat.

In a Jif Pattern

The crochet pattern for this dishcloth is available for free below.

Materials

  • Yarn: 75 yards 100% cotton

Tips

  • First stitch of each row is worked into the same  stitch as the turning chain.

  • Stitch count remains the same unless noted at end of row/round.
