Ready for an easy, cute, and functional free crochet pattern? I am pleased to introduce the Emma Washcloth!

I wanted to begin my free pattern series with something quick and fun, something that you can keep for yourself or give as a gift. Easily customizable, this washcloth design will quickly become one of your go-to projects (it has for me). I couldn’t settle on one color combination, so I made several. I love the idea of mixing and matching colors, and I opted for a set of spring and summer-friendly shades to brighten up any home.

What makes this design really special is the feminine detail of the scalloped border, adding a decorative twist to a classic washcloth. Using a contrasting color for the border provides a whimsical, modern feel to a vintage-inspired design. This pattern is appropriate for beginners of crochet, and it can be completed quickly by those more experienced. I recommend using Lily Sugar ‘n Cream yarn, though any cotton, worsted weight yarn will do. The colors pictured are: Mod Green, Hot Purple, Rose Pink, and Yellow. One 120-Yard skein will create a center of one washcloth and the border of another (with a little to spare).
