Crochet Afghan Square Washcloth
The Crochet Afghan Square Washcloth is a delightful and functional addition to any bathroom routine, combining the softness and warmth of a crochet afghan square with the gentle exfoliating properties of a washcloth. Made from a soft, absorbent cotton yarn, this cozy washcloth is perfect for cleansing and pampering the skin, and its compact size makes it easy to store and transport.
