Ingress Washcloth, Crochet
Because even frogs and smurfs use washcloths. Don't they?
Materials:
· Yarn (sample used 70 yds of Lily Sugar'n Cream in Off White to produce a 9" square) · Needles that give you a fabric you like (sample used US H-8/5mm hook for a gauge of 4 sts/in) ·Yarn needle for weaving in ends
Please note:
· If you've ever done filet crochet, this should be fairly easy. (And if you have, I would recommend working from the second chart, since that's more filet crochet-ish.) I put a round of USsc/UKdc alternating with ch1 around the entire thing: one USsc into every other stitch on the top and bottom, and two USsc into each turning chain on the sides, with one USsc around each ending Usdc.

(It isn't really lacy lace, but yes, it'll look better if it's blocked.) Enjoy! Copyright @2014, Denise Plourde. All rights reserved.
