While trying to come up with a theme, the word Serenity came to me one morning when I woke up. I was pondering about it the night before, and it just came to me in the morning. To be honest, I had to look up the word to make sure it was fitting, because I don’t use this word often, and it is! Here is the definition:
Serenity means peace of mind, quietness, and calmness.
I hope you feel calm and peaceful when joining the CAL, with some excitement in there too. Focus on your stitches but not to the point of stressing out. If it gets overwhelming, take a break, do some stretching, or take a walk and regroup. This is meant to be fun, relaxing, and supportive. I do hope you enjoy it!
I’m not anticipating you to feel that way, but just a reminder to crochet in a sense of joy and calmness.
What you will learn
This is a beginner Tunisian crochet CAL. If you’re new to these stitches, this is a great way to practice your tension and make a small cloth at the same time. I have video tutorials on the stitches to help you as we go along too.
We’ll be concentrating on the basic stitches, such as the simple stitch, knit stitch, purl stitch, along with some slightly more intermediate stitches to build onto your foundation of stitches. This will be a lot of fun.
How to join the Crochet Along
This is a five week CAL, with the first four weeks full of crochet fun, and the fifth week we’ll finish up, do some show and tell, and giveaways! I’m excited to be cohosting this with the CAL Crochet Along group! They run fun crochet alongs, such as the FATW5 that I’m honored to be in, and more! Join the Facebook group to share your progress, ask questions, and show off your creation!

SUPPLIES:
Each Spa Cloth pattern comes in two sizes, small and large. The small size is approximately 5.50 Inches square, and the large cloths are approximately 8.50 inches by 11 or 12 inches. Each one is slightly different, but roughly the same sizes depending on the stitch, and number of rows you make.
For the small cloths, I used about 35-50 yards each. For the large cloths, I used between 100-130 yards each. You may find you like a particular stitch and get stuck making that one over and over!
1.Yarnspirations Sugar’N Cream Yarn – 100% cotton, #4 WW, in various colors.
- 12 Small Cloths = approximately 420 – 600 yards total, color Ecru.
- 12 Large Cloths = approximately 1,200 – 1,560 yards total, various colors.

FUN ADDITIONS:
I’ve recently discovered the easy method of making your own handmade soap! It’s such a wonderful addition to these Spa cloths. Here is a video of me and my daughter as we experimented and made our first batch together.

Another fun addition is to make some beautiful handmade stitch markers. You can use them while making your cloths (or other crochet projects), clip them to your project bag or purse, or give them away with the Spa set. These are really fun to make as well, my daughter has made several of these with me on and off throughout the years.
