Carrie Washcloth Crochet Pattern

I created this simple but cute washcloth for a bridal shower gift last year. It turned out so cute I decided to write up the pattern and share it with you all here on my blog.

I wanted something earthy and rustic to fit with her theme and to add to a basket full of other items such as bamboo serving utensils and other eco-friendly goodies. While trying to keep it simple I still wanted to add a bit of texture for scrubbing purposes and to keep it from being too bland. The front bottom loop (see the first video at this link for FBL clarification) technique worked perfect for what I was looking for.
