Type:

Home Decor

Item:

Kitchen Accessory

Skill Level:

Beginner

Basic Skills Necessary:

You will need to know basic crochet stitches: chains, slip stitches, single, double, half-double, & treble crochet
You will also need to know how to work front and back-post double crochet

Pattern Description:

Another set of 3 different patterns that make beautiful washcloths for your pampering enjoyment! These also make great dishcloths - they'll last forever and get soft and more absorbent every time you wash them.

This pattern set includes 3 patterns - basketweave pattern, double crochet parallel posts, and a swirl stitch pattern. The basketweave and parallel posts patterns are richly textured - they remind me of the distinctive patterns typical of a "fisherman sweater".

Like my other washcloth patterns, these are wonderful for making quick gift sets - tie them up with a bit of ribbon, add a scented bar of handmade soap or some bath salts for a handmade gift that's always appreciated.
