I know when I started crocheting that I was always on the lookout for simple but beautiful patterns, and I think these washcloths are just that.

Yarn
When crocheting washcloths, I recommend using a 100% cotton yarn or a cotton yarn blend. These types of fibers are easy to take care of and wash up great, which means you’ll get lots of use out of them.
Take a look at a few of my favorite cotton yarns to use when crocheting washcloth designs.
