She Sells Sea Shells Washcloth - Free crochet pattern, part of the 2020 Charity Stash Bash CAL...

Hello everyone, it's time for the first pattern in our Charity Stash Bash CAL.  We are starting off with a simple, quick and easy wash cloth.  Toiletries are among the items listed, for you to add to your shoe boxes and a handmade cloth accompanied with a nice bar of soap will be a great addition.  You can pack your boxes yourself or take items you wish to donate to your local church (if they are participating).  This cloth has a seaside theme and will eventually be part of a spa set including face scrubbies, shower puff and soap sock.

I am currently working on patterns for coordinating face scrubbies, shower puff and a soap sock.  Make sure you are subscribed so you don't miss them.

Why not make your cloths look more professional with little gift labels.  I have a selection of digital labels in my Etsy Store, that you can print off at home.

Including some lovely ones for Christmas.  Simply print them off at home, cut them out and your crochet gifts look extra special.

If you enjoy my patterns and would like to help support my work, you can purchase the ad free pdf pattern, from my online stores...  

Pin it for later...

I hope you enjoyed this washcloth pattern and I would love it if you joined in with the crochet along.  You can share your photos in the Facebook Group or use #lullabylodge on Instagram.

Happy stash bashing!

Catherine
