Floral Pop Washcloth Crochet Pattern

I have a fun freebie friday for you! I love using handmade cotton washcloths. It was time for me to make some new ones and I really thought this design was fun. It has a unique floral design perfect for spring.  The popcorn stitches make for nice scrubby spots on the washcloth too! 
I hope you enjoy this washcloth as much as I do! 


Level: Intermediate

Materials: 
Yarn: Worsted Weight Cotton, I used Lily Sugar & Cream 

Hook: H - (5.00 mm)
Tapestry Needle 

Gauge: 2x2 inch swatch = 5 rows of 10 dc

Terms and Stitches Used: 
ch– Chain, st – Stitch, dc – Double Crochet, sl st – Slip Stitch, 
YO – Yarn Over, Rep — Repeat, fpc st — Front Popcorn, bpc st — Back Popcron

Special Stitch: Front and Back Popcorn
 *Front Popcorn Stitch - (fpc st) Work 3 dc in indicated stitch, drop loop from hook, insert hook from front to back through top of first dc made, place dropped loop on hook and pull through 1st dc
*Back Popcorn Stitch - (bpc st) Work 3 dc in indicated stitch, drop loop from hook, insert hook from back to front through top of first dc made, place dropped loop on hook and pull through 1st dc
