Here’s a crochet pattern I came up with for a washcloth or dishcloth that works up quick and, as the title suggests, is super simple to make.
It’s always nice to have some patterns that are simple and quick to work up when you just want to zone out and crochet on autopilot for the therapeutic effect, or when you need to put together a quick gift like I did. I mean, really, who would not be happy to get something like this for a present?
Here’s the pattern for the soap saver pictured below: Simple Soap Saver Free Crochet Pattern

Maybe I missed it but how many rows did you end with ?
Hi Gloria! I didn’t keep track of the number of rows – I just kept working until the washcloth was square. I intentionally left the part of how many rows open-ended because every person’s gauge is different, and depending on the gauge it might take more or less rows than what I had to get the washcloth to be square. I would measure the washcloth every few rows while you’re working on it (or just eyeball it) and when the length and width are the same, you’re done! 🙂 I hope this helps!
oh Jackie this is a good pattern I want to do more. please send me more ideas.
