Make a cotton crochet wash mitt with this really easy pattern.
With one side made using the popcorn stitch for scrubbing and the other from single crochet, this wash mitt is a bathroom essential!
This is part of a bathroom set of crochet patterns that are available for you to make, which includes a crochet shower puff, washcloths, face scrubbies and soap bags.
Making all of the items in the crochet bathroom set collection will be perfect for gifting at Christmas or to make and sell at the upcoming Christmas craft fairs.
The bathroom set could also be used as a special spa treat gift for anyone who needs a bit of pampering, paired with some organic homemade soaps and shower gels.
This crochet wash mitt is an excellent beginner crochet project, that will introduce you to creating a chain, single crochet.
It’s really simple to make, with a little bit of counting involved and some knowledge of basic crochet stitches.
