Free Crochet Pattern: Circle of Bobbles Washcloth

March 18, 2022 by Marie Segares

I’m Marie from Underground Crafter. Once the weather gets warmer, I love to use my crochet washcloths. They are great for exfoliating your skin after shaving or for washing sunscreen or sweat off your face after spending time outdoors. I’m sharing a pattern for a textured washcloth that works up quickly in super bulky yarn.
