The Holidays are Coming!!!
This means that I'm in full out crafting mode, creating lots of awesome new things that I can't share yet... which is killing me!!!! After the holidays are over, you'll be treated with lots of new patterns, projects and the like, and for now, you just have to be patient. To ease the wait, here's a simple washcloth pattern that you can whip up in less than an hour, and it's easily taken with you for working on while riding in a car or bus or waiting for an appointment. They're great for lots of uses, I have a whole stack in my bathroom :)
Materials needed:
Cotton yarn, I use Sugar and Cream or Peaches and Cream
Size "I" Hook
Instructions:
Ch 26 (last 2 ch form first dc)
R1: dc in 3rd ch from hook and each ch to end, turn (32 st)
R2: ch 2, FPDC, * BPDC in next 4dc, FPDC in next 4dc* repeat 2x, BPDC in next 4 st, FPDC, dc into turning chain from previous row, turn.

Finish off and weave in ends.
I hope you enjoy making these for your family and friends!
