This simple wash cloth is quick and easy to crochet, a perfect project for warm weather days! The finished project makes a good wash cloth for your kitchen or bathroom, or alternatively can be used as a trivet or coaster for warm dishes.
I am using US crochet terms for this pattern. You will be working in treble crochet stitch (tr), or in UK terms, double treble crochet stitch
