This is the perfect time of year to start crocheting those handmade gifts. They are perfect for Christmas gift giving, baby showers, bridal showers, teacher gifts, and workplace gifts. They work up quickly so you can make quite a few in one day.

In just eight rounds, you can have a large farmhouse washcloth ready to use or gift!

It takes me less than an hour to make each one and that includes weaving in the yarn ends.

Solid Yarn Colors Versus Changing the Color

The colors of this yarn were so vibrant that I chose to use just one color for each washcloth. However, this would also work up well using a variegated yarn or changing color throughout the rounds in the crochet pattern.

Recently, my daughter and her husband moved into a new house on our farm. Therefore, I just had to crochet a few of these in fall colors for them. The photos were taken on their large farmhouse dining room table.

Pattern Notes

This crochet square is worked in the round.

Each round is joined at the end with a slip stitch into the top chain three of the previous row.

The Chain 2 stitches are the corners. Each corner consists of a (2 DC, CH 2, 2 DC).

Double crochet stitches are the stitches on the sides. You will double crochet in each stitch across the sides. The number of double crochet stitches on each side will grow by 4 each side for the round or 16 total each round.

This pattern uses a number 4 yarn weight cotton yarn. Any cotton yarn would work nicely for this pattern as it will dry well and hold up to use.
