I'm crocheting a washcloth?

Question

I'm just using a slip stitch to do it and then making a border at the end. Has anyone else done it like this???

I've made 6 so far and they actually came out really nice...they could probably be used as hot pads too!

Oh and I'm using 100% cotton worsted weight "Peaches & Cream" Brand yarn.

Answer 1

Yup!  Yours sound very pretty.  If you're going to use them as hot pads you might want two layers.  Have fun crocheting! :)

Answer 2

thats neat to keep traditions going, you can use for a hotpad  if stitches are very tight or your fingers can slip thru & get burned; been there done that :-o  but ,the cotton is an excellent idea as a blend could melt from heat.  enjoy...Evie

Answer 3

Sure, I crochet all my pot holders with 100% cotton; acrylic blends are highly flammable.

I crochet 2 squares, place one on top of the other, and attach them together by crocheting all around. I've also become ambitious and saw a piece of terry cloth to one side, place the other square on top in order to sandwich terry cloth between two squares and crochet all around; it's a thicker version for heavier pots.
