Sandy Shores Washcloth / Dishcloth

"With an easy two row repeat, the Sandy Shores Washcloth uses only single crochet, half double crochets and double crochets. It is an easy beginner crochet washcloth pattern. Perfect for last minute gifts, housewarming gift ideas, birthdays teamed with favourite soaps, or even baby showers. Cotton washcloths are ideal for babies because they are great for sensitive skin! I highly recommend you use cotton or a high cotton blend for this one. Cotton washes really well at higher temperatures (perfect from a hygiene point of view), keeps its shape, and will look great for years to come. It works up really quickly with the basic beginner crochet stitches and uses around 75 yards of cotton yarn."
