Big man's Washcloth

[brendaKbrown]

No, this isn't a big square, it's a long cloth with handles at each end. My father-in-law loves it for washing his back. It is double thick like the scowering pad that is available online, but this is totally my own pattern. Feel free to use it, but PLEASE don't take credit for my work. Of course, there is no picture because I'm blind. Try it, your "big man" will love it!

Sounds great! I think I'll be making one of these for my mom since she has RA and has trouble with scrubbing up some time! Thanks for sharing this great pattern.
