The washcloths seen in these photos are made with WeCrochet Dishie and are Christmas themed. I purchased the “Retro Christmas” value pack which features 5 skeins in some fun, traditional holiday shades. Of course, you can make your washcloths in any colour you choose! Check out the WeCrochet value packs here.
These five patterns use simple stitches to create a quick but eye catching washcloth. You can make a whole bunch from one pattern or make a set using all five designs. Each pattern is written separately below with all the important details needed to make your own.
A few quick notes:
- Each pattern has its own section containing all the required details and information
- Gauge is not important for these patterns. I used a 4mm hook for these designs but if you prefer to use a 5mm, go for it! Please note that when adjusting the hook size, your yardage could differ slightly than what is mentioned below.
