Using any size 4/worsted weight cotton yarn (like Lily Sugar n’ Cream) and scrubby yarn. I used I Love this Cotton from Hobby Lobby (in Spunky) and Red Heart Scrubby Cotton in Peachy. Feel free to use substitutions but I highly recommend checking out www.yarnsub.com where you can get exact percentage matches and tons of details to help with substituting.
For the heart section (C2), I like to run the MC underneath and stitch over it, like you would in tapestry crochet. This drastically reduces the number of ends that have to be woven in. For changing colors, before finishing last stitch of old color, put a loop of new color on hook and pull through. https://youtu.be/3wAmFSsJOJQ
Another really cool tool that I recently found is this end weaver in tool. It’s basically like a latch hook tool but with a longer shaft. I used to do everything possible to avoid having ends to weave in but this tool is a game changer! It’s super fast to weave in any ends and so much easier than a needle.
Finished washcloth size is 8″ x 8″.
