With the warm weather it has bee too hot to really get any crocheting done, any large items, that is! So, I have just been fiddling around with some smaller things to keep the hands moving.
These are hand clothe size and are perfect to keep in the bathroom. We use them to dry our hands off with, or even in the kitchen as hot pads for the pans.
I use Peaches and Cream 100% cotton yarn. It soaks up really well and I like the quality.
These are made using a simple half double crochet stitch. Works up pretty quickly while still leaving small gaps in the stitches.
Nothing fancy, just a quick and easy item that is super handy around the house. Machine washable and they hold up great!
