Broken Rib Crochet Washcloth – Part of the 2019 CAL Central Washcloth CAL

The Broken Rib Crochet Washcloth was inspired by my love for the broken rib knit stitch. I figured out how to get a similar look in crochet and it makes me so happy! This washcloth has great texture so it feels great and looks pretty as well. Pamper yourself while adding some lovely style to your home spa supplies. This pattern is listed as intermediate, however that is only because post stitches are considered intermediate. If you can make post stitches, then this should be an easy pattern for you.

The yarn for this design was provided by Love Crafts. All opinions are my own

The CAL Central Washcloth CAL invites crocheters to crochet washcloths for themselves, for gifts, or to donate to charity while chatting with others in our groups and sharing projects for the chance to win giveaway prizes.
