Materials Needed

• Yarn: 100% cotton, DK weight
• Crochet Hook: 4.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 10 C2C blocks = 4 inches
• Contrasting Yarn Colors: For the snowman’s face and hat (black for eyes, orange for nose, red for hat)
• Scissors for cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle for weaving in ends and embroidery

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring to begin your washcloth. This will serve as the foundation for your crochet work.
2. Row 1: Chain 6 (Ch 6). In the 4th chain from the hook, work 1 double crochet (dc). In the next 2 chains, work 1 dc each. You have now completed 1 block.
3. Row 2: Chain 6 (Ch 6). In the 4th chain from the hook, work 1 dc. In the next 2 chains, work 1 dc each. Slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the next block. Chain 3 (Ch 3), then work 3 dc in the chain-3 space. You have now completed 2 blocks.
4. Rows 3-8: Continue increasing by adding 1 block per row. Follow the C2C technique by chaining 6 for each new row and working into the chain-3 space of the previous row. Repeat this until you reach Row 8.
5. Rows 9-12: Work evenly by maintaining the same number of blocks. Simply chain 6 and continue to build on the blocks without increasing or decreasing.
6. Rows 13-16: Begin decreasing by reducing 1 block per row. To do this, chain 6 and work into the chain-3 space, but do not add a new block at the end of the row. Continue this until only 1 block remains.
7. Finishing: Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.
8. Embroider the Snowman: Using contrasting yarn colors, embroider the snowman’s face and hat. Use black for the eyes, orange for the nose, and red for the hat. This adds character and charm to your washcloth.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Frosty Snowman C2C Hat Washcloth. Enjoy using it in your home or gifting it to a loved one this winter season!
