Quick, Textured & Striped: the making of a Washcloth

A local soap maker asked me to make a lot of washcloths...I mean A LOT.  Mostly sport/college colored, so I couldn't have too feminine a look to these cloths. So I searched ravelry until my eyes could look no more.  I couldn't find exactly what I wanted, so here is my Quick, Textured & Striped Washcloth pattern :)
