There is just something I love about small projects. First of all, because they work up so quickly! Second, because it’s fun to try out new stitches and colors.

So I teamed up the two to create a wash cloth pattern that I am in love with! I am also totally in love with this yarn that I found in the LB Collection – Mako Cotton.

If you haven’t tried it before, this cotton is silky smooth to crochet with and makes amazing projects. I can’t wait to use this yarn in a wonderful summer make and a baby blanket and any other cotton yarn project I might have in mind.

So, if you’ve never checked it out (believe it or not the price is totally reasonable!), head over here and give it a peek.

How to Crochet: Striped Farmhouse Wash Cloth

That’s it!! Super simple and I really feel like this yarn makes it something special while still being cotton! I’ve already used this and gotten it wet and it dries out like a dream.

One note about this yarn, though, is that you have to hand wash it, which for me is no big deal. I just use a little soap at the sink and hang it to dry. I might try throwing it in the laundry just to see what happens.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this free pattern! Remember, you can always view all of my free crochet patterns here.

Happy Crocheting!
Amanda

    How many rows or blocks in 4 worsted yarn
    For a C2c baby blanket do you still do 21 rows until blocking

    Please let us know how it turns out when you machine wash this dish cloth or something else made with the Lion Brand Yarn LB Collection Mako Cotton. My daughter loves dish cloths I crochet or loom knit for her,but she also loves tossing them in the washer to help kill germs. It’s really hard to rinse thoroughly enough by hand, for me.

    Thank you.

      I need to weigh mine to see how many ounces it is to figure this out, but I have made two in opposite color schemes and I still have plenty of yarn left.

    Hi,
    I am having difficulty finding a pattern in your library. The Striped Farmhouse Wash Cloth. I’d like to print the instructions to follow them easier.
    I have signed up and been given the password for the library.

    Thank you,
    Irma W

      Hello Irma!

      Only some of my patterns are available in the library and this pattern is not one of them. It is free on the post but there isn’t a printable version of it yet.
