Easy Crochet Throw Blanket Pattern

When my youngest son  made his Christmas list this year I thought that I pretty much knew what would be on it. A couple of new t-shirts,  khaki pants, a pair of jeans, socks, a sweater. Standard issue, 20-something year old, college guy stuff. 

When I opened the email just after he went back to school from Thanksgiving break, I realized that I was right....

                                                                        ...for the most part.

Crochet Cotton Washcloths with Free Pattern Link

 I love white cotton! From the sheets and lace draperies in my bedroom to the towels and cloths in my kitchen, I simply can't get enough of the stuff!   Yesterday, I had a few hours of "unassigned time" while riding in the car on the way to visit family in Rockford so, I decided to made productive use of it by crocheting some fresh, white, cotton, kitchen wash cloths.

I found the FREE pattern, here . Thank you, Design Sponge!

The only alteration that I make is that I use a size H crochet hook because I like my cloths a little larger. Using size H, my cloths turn out just under 12" x 12" square prior to washing.

The pattern calls for only chain and half-double crochet stitches. Easy peasy!  There's a link to a tutorial for how to make HDC, just in case you need a refresher! 

What a great way to spend a Saturday. I was able to see my family AND got four new kitchen cloths, too!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Bring out the blankets (and scarves)

Much to my chagrin, cooler weather has arrived in Illinois. It's been raining for the better part of the last several days and that makes me think of bundling up.....or curling up.
