Cotton washcloths are so nice to use, and adding bits of lace and ribbon give that vintage feel, transporting you to a time gone by when attention to detail was given to washcloths and items in a ladies boudoir. I love to crochet washcloths.

My mother would have loved having this set in her bath. The children would not be allowed to touch, as she would’ve wanted to keep her little corner of pretty in pristine condition.

Weave lace through the beading and tie in knots at the corner and trim. This is also cute with ribbon bows at the corners. Embellishing these sweet and Fancy Washcloths is so much fun…and they make great gifts too!
Pic tutorial 1: below is showing the lace being woven through the beading round. If using flat lace, do not skip a hole, but with pre-gathered lace, it looks good if you skip a hole or two. It is a pretty option.
Pic tutorial 2: When executing the edge round across the bottom row, where the foundation CH that has a row of SC worked into it, if you drop below the SC Row, it will look like one row of edging.
Pic1 has an arrow pointing to the opening where you should insert your hook.
Pic 2 is showing how the loop has been drawn up to make the SC.
Pic 3 Shows how this can give the illusion of one SC row.
