In planning a fall themed washcloth, I first worked up these Basic C2C Washcloths so I could better plan my image based on the boxes needed to get the size I was looking for. Keep your eye out for one of those fall themed washcloths next week! Or follow me on Instagram if you want a sneak peek!

Materials:

• 78 – 85 Yards of Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn – I used Lily Sugar n Cream in the Hot Orange colorway, and I am not sure on the other as it has been sitting in my stash for a few years, and without a wrapper, and I did not see online
• H8/5mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends
• Optional, Jewelry Pliers

Material Notes:

Yarn Alternatives: Bernat Handicrafter, Red Heart’s Smoothie, Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran, Rico Creative Cotton Aran, Crafter’s Secret Cotton (with I9/5.5mm hook).

Cotton yarn can be tough to weave ends through. A pair of jewelry pliers work wonders to help pull tapestry needle through. Do so carefully not to break needle eye in the process.

Time Spent:

I worked the small up in an hour, and the medium one up in just under an hour and a half.

Measurements:

The small one is an 8.5″ square, and the medium one measures 8.5″ wide by 10.5″ in length.

Gauge:

16 HDC by 10 Rows = 4″

Abbreviations:

• DC – Double Crochet
• SC – Single Crochet

Pattern Notes:

Beginning chain 2 counts as a double crochet.

A box is comprised of four double crochet’s.

The “space under the same chain joined to” is defined as the space between the last two double crochet’s of the previous rows box.

Working the final double crochet into the top of the chain from the previous row helps to keep the edge more even. After completing the first box, your edge may look a little wonky, but no need to stress or straighten as the border will cover this up.

Typically in corner to corner, when working a box that begins with a turn (versus a chain 6), there is not a beginning chain, but in these washcloths I added one because there was no give with the cotton yarn. If using anything but cotton yarn, don’t chain here.

In the Border, the chain 1 does not count as a stitch, and join to the first stitch.

Border adds half an inch.
