I have a lot of leftover cotton yarn and these patterns are just right for me. I also do not block my crochet cotton washcloths. Thanks to young people like you we older ones can still crochet something easy. Please continue in your endeavor!
I’m so glad you like the patterns Iris! Thank you for your kind words 🙂
i am a just beginner at crochetting. Can this pattern be enlarged into a baby blanket.
It is a beautiful pattern and i would really like to try making it into a baby blanket
Hi Barbara! There are two different patterns in this post 🙂 For the first one, you have to chain a larger multiple of 2 and add one for the foundation chain. For the second one, it’s just a larger multiple of 2.
Been away from crochet for 50 plus years. These look lovely and a
good way to ease back in. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely love the washcloths and little facial scrubbies!!! Your patterns are so easy to follow and makes crocheting them a breeze 🙂 I’m making several spa baskets and will fill them with you facial scrub as well as washcloths, scrubbies, and bath pouffs for Christmas. Thank you so much for sharing these patterns and ideas.
Hi!
I, too, like all the others who commented, love these beautiful dishcloths/washcloths. I think I will be making them for a baby – friend has a neighbour who is having a baby in September – I’ve crocheted bib, burp cloth & thinking of using your patterns for the facecloths – just so love the designs – so beautiful! I, too was having problem, same as Anna. I will redo 3rd row & hopefully I do it right this time. You answer questions very quickly & that is another reason I love your site. A lot of times if I have a problem I write the designer but don’t get an answer back – I try to avoid their sites later. Tk u so much for sharing your talent & patterns They are truly great! Your work always looks so wonderful as do your pics. Tk u again!
That sounds so wonderful Helen! I hope the new mom loves the items that you made for her 🙂 Thank you for all of your kid words! I do try to help as much as I can, even if I can’t answer right away, I always try to answer at some point 🙂 Take care! Let me know if you have any questions!
What do you charge for your washcloths if you would sell them?
Hi Emily! It’s hard to say. What I used to do, when I sold finished items, was calculate the cost of my materials, packing and shipping costs, and determined how much I would charge for labor (how much I would pay myself for my time per hour) and then multiply that by 2 to get the price. I don’t know if that makes sense but I got the idea from this Etsy article: https://blog.etsy.com/en/2012/a-simple-formula-for-pricing-your-work/ Hope that helps!
It’s hard to choose one pattern because all your work is awesome. Thank you for all your hard work.
Thank you so much!
These are so pretty, great for gifting!
Thank you!
Do you block your dishcloths? Beautiful!
Hi Jane! I actually don’t since I usually wet them and they get all out of shape again anyway
I am having a small problem going from row 2 to 3 and the end of 2 I have 38 stitches I start with row 3 get to the end and have 1 stitch and can’t skip to do the last SC what am I doing wrong?
Is this for the grit stitch washcloth? Are you skipping over the first sc in the row? You should be working a sc in the same st that the ch 1 is coming out of. I hope that helps!
I did the same thing after crocheting about half before I realized I was losing stitches. You do skip the last stitch and sc in your turning chain from the beginning of the previous row. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much for the wonderful spa day patterns! They are awesome!
Thank you Julia! Enjoy!
Thank you so much for these Spa Day patterns. They are all so lovely and a perfect gift for the friend or relative (aunt, in my case) who has everything. I so appreciate you sharing your talents with us!
Thank you so much Judy! I hope that your aunt loves and appreciates how much time and effort you put into your work 🙂
Thank you. I LOVE handmade wash-and-dish cloths and make the often for family and friends.These patterns are really nice!
Thank you Kathy! Enjoy! 🙂
