I’m sharing an easy crochet washcloth pattern that was a nice little project in my morning routine. I worked this pattern up one morning at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee while watching Hey Arnold!.

You can find the free pattern below, or you can purchase the ad-free printable PDF from my shop.
I decided to try the pattern using two different yarns to see how each one would turn out. The first washcloth was made with regular Lily Sugar’n Cream cotton yarn, and it came out soft and comfortable for everyday use.
The second washcloth was made with Lily Sugar’n Cream Scrub Off yarn. This was my first time using this yarn, so I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but I really enjoyed working with it and love how it turned out.
The cotton sections are super soft (softer than regular Sugar’n Cream yarn), and the scrubby sections are gentle without feeling harsh. Plus, there are some pretty color combinations to choose from, which made it fun to pick one out. This yarn works well for scrubby washcloths, and of course these cloths also make handy dishcloths.
Now that you have a little background on how these washcloths came together, let’s get started with the pattern so you can make one of your own.
