The wash cloth set is made using the double crochet and single crochet stitches. These are a fun way to learn how to crochet.
For the large wash cloth I used Sugar’n Cream yarn, in the color Hot Green. 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.
