Cable Smocked Washcloth

Cable Smocked Washcloth is a great fast make for those looking to try out crochet cables for the first time or wanting a sturdy, absorbent washcloth with a great scrubby texture and a decorative appearance. The edging is also perfect for using up short lengths of leftover scrap yarn.I was so pleased with the result and how well it works as a cloth, especially for spillages and dried on food, that I decided I should make this pattern available so others can make it.
