Relax and Refresh Wash Cloth Free Crochet Along

What is the Relax and Refresh CAL all about?
This is a fun crochet along meant to instill relaxation and no pressure to complete a small wash cloth. I have crochet video tutorials on each stitch if you’re new to crochet.
Update your color scheme with a pretty new wash cloth for your home, and revive your crochet skills. Perhaps learn a new stitch, or get a refresher on a stitch that you’ve forgotten how to make.
WHAT YOU WILL MAKE
This crochet along will consist of ten free crochet patterns for wash cloths, each in a different crochet stitch. The small cloths are approximately 7 Inches square, and the large cloths are approximately 8 inches square.
This is an exciting crochet along that you can make a wash cloth spa set as gifts, or get ready in advance for upcoming holiday boutiques.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
We’ll be concentrating on the basic stitches, such as the single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet, along with some slightly more intermediate stitch combinations to build onto your foundation of stitches. This will be a lot of fun.
If you’re new to the 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.
HOW TO JOIN IN
There aren’t any requirements except to relax and refresh yourself and your skills. I will be hosting in the Crochet Playground Facebook group if you want to share your progress and show us your creations there.

SUPPLIES
The off white yarn is a light, DK #3 weight yarn used for each pattern. The colorful, coordinating wash cloth is made in medium #4 weight yarn in a different color for each cloth. This is optional, you can use any weight yarn, in any colors you like.
For the small cloths, I used about 55 yards each. For the large cloths, I used about 65 yards each. You may find you like a particular stitch and get stuck making that same cloth over and over, it’s very fun.
1. Yarnspirations: Lily Sugar’N Cream Yarn – 100% cotton, #4 medium weight, 1 skein each, in various colors of your choice.
- 10 Large Cloths = approximately 65 yards for each cloth, 650 total yards.
2. Bernat: Cotton Baby – 60% cotton, 40% acrylic, #3 light, 3 skeins, in the color Cotton.
- 10 Small Cloths = approximately 55 yards for each cloth, 550 total yards.
3. Crochet Hook: size H/8, 5.00 mm
FUN ADDITIONS
I’ve discovered the easy method of making my own handmade soap. It’s such a wonderful addition to these wash cloth sets. 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 cloth set. These are really fun to make.
