So Soft Textured Washcloth
I love making and using crochet washcloths. I think they are useful in many ways and are environmentally friendly.
Do you want to save some money? If yes, then the use of crochet washcloths is one way to guarantee your saving since you will not need to buy any more washcloths. And the best part is, you don’t need to buy yarn just for making washcloths because that is when you put to use your leftover yarn. You save even more since the washcloths are reusable and durable depending on what yarn you use.
Making crochet washcloths is one way to learn a new stitch. Instead of making swatches to keep or throw away, you can make washcloths and use them as you learn the stitch. You just need to make them big enough for a washcloth. The best part about making crochet washcloths is that you have control on how they feel. You just need to choose the yarn and pattern to create what you want. They can be smooth, rough, textured, or as per your preference.
