This crochet washcloth and bath mitt set makes a great gift! Pair it with some scented bath gel and slippers for a spa themed gift set for a friend. Or you can work the up in a soft organic cotton and use them as part of a unique baby gift with some baby shampoo and a bath toy.
It’s a pretty and useful set with lots of handmade charm!
This set is an easy crochet project that works up quickly. The patterns are beginner friendly and are worked up in basic crochet stitches.
The bath mitt pattern is designed for a standard adult size. I have included two sizes of crochet washcloth patterns, a baby washcloth size and a slightly larger adult size.

I love this mitt! Thank you for sharing.
The mitt is cute and quick, but it won’t even fit my ten year olds, much less my own hand. Was looking for a truly adult mitt. I should have read the comments before making this. 😢
Hi Amber 🙂 Try to wet it though … mine stretched sooooo much at first which is why I downsized the pattern.
Is the mitt adult sized?
Yes, it is an adult size mitt 🙂
RI just finished the mitt and it might fit my 3 year old nephew, but definitely not my hand! Still cute tho
It fits my hand, but it wouldn’t fit for my hubby!
