Crochet cozy home accessories with Cotton Chenille – Plus FREE wash cloth pattern!

Our Cotton Chenilles are super plush yarns with a soft and fluffy 100% cotton pile, available in both bulky and worsted weight. These yarns are washer and dryer friendly – in fact, I recommend finishing every Cotton Chenille project with a run through the gentle cycle, followed by a good tumble in the dryer. This washing process helps the yarn to really fluff up, making a super soft fabric that’s perfect for cuddling up to.

I was recently reading through Corner to Corner Crochet - 15 Contemporary C2C Projects and I was so inspired, I had to try making something from it. I chose two colors of [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] , one mini cone each, and grabbed a size K crochet hook to get started. 
Although my gauge was different, I chose to make one square from the Inverse Throw to try the “C2C” technique out. Here’s what it looked like, before and after washing:

The same thing happens with our worsted weight [Sorry, item discontinued or temporarily out of stock] . This soft, plush cotton makes excellent wash cloths, no matter what stitch you use. I like simple double crochet, with a tidy single crochet border and built-in hanging loop. These little wash cloths make a great gift – especially when paired with a bar of homemade soap, fresh from the farmers market! Here’s the free pattern:
