It’s time for the 2019 Washcloth CAL! The Washcloth CAL is one of my favorite CALs because I love making simple projects and I love cotton yarn! There is also a fantastic End-of-CAL giveaway which you can enter here. My pattern contribution is a simple textured washcloth that is quick and easy to make and uses less than 100 yards of yarn!  Scroll down to check out the FREE crochet pattern for my Nubby Scrubby Color Block Washcloth.
