Crochet the Beach House Washcloth on Your Summer Road Trips

I know that some people take a hiatus from crocheting during the summer months, but not me!  I just shift gears to lightweight projects that I can transport easily while we enjoy the nice weather. Washcloths are an excellent way to keep crocheting in the summer months, and they are great projects to have one hand when they are finished, too!  They will be perfect for fall craft fairs coming up.  They also work well as housewarming gifts.  You could even send a few off with your favorite first time college student when they go back to school.

The Beach House Washcloth is a simple but luxurious textured crochet washcloth made with Cascade Ultra Pima Cotton yarn (thanks, Cascade, for supplying the yarn for this project!).  It is also part of the Washcloth Crochet Along with CAL Central.  So check out all the other free patterns here and you will be able to keep yourself busy crocheting for the rest of the summer!
