Crochet Washcloth Pattern for Beginners
This Crochet Washcloth Pattern for Beginners is so simple and environmentally friendly! Instead of using wipes and paper towels, use these reusable cloths. These washcloths have so many uses around the house. You could even use them as facial washcloths. This free pattern has step-by-step instructions to help you make a perfect product.

Simple Home Basket
The Simple Home Basket is big, sturdy, and perfect in any room of the home! Pick out the two colors of Red Heart Sweet Home that fit your decor and whip one up with this free crochet basket pattern on Moogly! Almost all of the two balls get used because this basket is made with a liner. It's this liner (combined with a smaller hook) that give the Simple Home Basket its sturdiness and ability to keep its shape and stand up on its own! I love the modern look of this crochet basket pattern with the neutral stripes and chalkboard-look label. And I've included instructions for making the custom label as well!
Color Block Potholder
Upcycle some t-shirts to create a potholder using this free pattern. To crochet the color block potholder, you'll need t-shirt yarn from two t-shirts (mine were a men's size small), a 12 mm crochet hook, and about 15 minutes. Due to the thickness of t-shirt yarn, the finished potholder requires only one layer is about 7.5 x 8 inches in size. This speedy potholder project is a great way to clean out your closet and get rid of some old t-shirts!
