It's been awhile since I've published a FREE pattern online; but thought that because of everything that is happening; perhaps we can still share some love online! Here is a free heart shaped washcloth made out of 100% cotton; for Valentine's Day. This goes very well with my Alice in Wonderland - Queen of Hearts double layered Spa Eye Mask. If you are interested in purchasing the entire spa kit - please click here!
Looking for the Queen of Hearts Eye Mask Crochet Pattern - you can find it on Ravelry.
I've also changed the way I write patterns as well, and I'm trying this new way of making it into a checklist - let me know your thoughts.
Let's begin!
This is a heart shaped wash cloth that is easy to crochet in rounds. The edges are done by chaining and looping one colour on top of the other. This wash cloth is made up of cotton which gives it a very soft and textured feel. Very easy to wash and lay flat to dry. Can be used as a dish cloth or trivet (pot holder) as well. Very versatile.
Finished product size is approximately 8" (20.5 cm) wide and 6” (15.5 cm) tall.
What you'll need for this project:
Crochet Hook Size: 5 mm
Darning needle for hiding loose ends
Marker for marking the beginning/end of the round
