The wash cloth set is made using a combination of basic crochet stitches, the double and single crochet, with an amazing texture.
For the large wash cloth I used Sugar’n Cream yarn, in the color Teal. It’s a #4 weight medium yarn and a size 5.00 mm H/8 crochet hook.
For the small wash cloth I used Bernat, Softee Baby Cotton yarn, in the color Cotton. It’s a #3 weight yarn and a size 5.00 mm H/8 crochet hook.
