Stashbusting Washcloths

"These modern crochet washcloths are perfect for the beginner who wants to take on a little variation in design. These are also great stash busting projects for using up leftover partial skeins of worsted weight cotton yarn. Both washcloths feature patterns based on the single crochet stitch. The Ridged Washcloth uses the single crochet in the back loop only stitch to create the ridged effect. The Textured Washcloth uses the single crochet three together for its texture. Both incorporate a single crochet border to give them a finished and modern look."
