Bumps on a log

Crochet two different textured washcloths that use a variation of the single crochet to create a bumpy texture that is great for scrubbing. The same stitches are used; however, their placement differs between the two options.

The name Bumps on a log reflects the texture created when crocheting this dishcloth.
