Look at the fabulous job my testers did in creating such colorful washcloths using just an inch of color.

Thank you Connie Adams, Christina Anderson, Beth Bjerkle, Klarisse Cifra-Torres, Linda Gibson, Brucene Plass, and Amanda Suder for your colorful version of my Just an Inch of Color Washcloths Crochet Pattern.

The Just An Inch of Color Washcloths Crochet Pattern uses #4 ply Cotton Weight Yarn.  Using cotton yarn is a great way to save money on washing supplies.  Cotton Yarn also washes up nicely in the washer and dryer.
