This washcloth is simple but beautiful. It uses the Even Moss Stitch, which incorporates the chain stitch, Slip Stitch, and Half Double Crochet. For a cleaner finish, use an invisible join at the very end. The size is approximately 8.5″ x 8.5″.
Even Moss Stitch Dishcloth
Using cotton yarn this dishcloth pattern is a fast and easy crochet project that can be stitched up in an evening. These make a great handmade gift idea. The Even Moss stitch uses a combo of half double crochet and the slip stitch to create the pattern that gives a unique textured appearance. This pattern can be made in a set of dishcloths or just a single dishcloth. You can also use this as a washcloth instead of a dishcloth if you would like.
C2c Valentine's Washcloth
I've had Valentine's on my brain lately. One of the things I wanted to make was a heart washcloth (could also be used as an afghan square). Went to Hobby Lobby, and found the perfect colors for it! As a washcloth, C2C can sometimes become saggy because of the spaces in the boxes, and by spaces, I really just mean like a slit from the beginning chain that all the stitches are worked onto. I use my washcloths either for decorative purposes, or just to dry things up - not to wash anything with because of this. To make a better washcloth, go down a hook size for tighter stitches and/or use half double crochets in place of double crochets.
Simple Shells Washcloth: Quick and Easy Textured Stitch Pattern
The Simple Shells Washcloth is made with alternating rows of solid stitches and groups of shells, creating a pretty surface for scrubbing anything you need in the bath and kitchen! This washcloth is worked in rows using chains and double crochet stitches. You can easily customize the stitch repeat in multiples of 5+2 (+2 for the turning chain), then work any odd multiple of rows. While you don't see the term shell in the specialty stitch and technique section of this pattern, the group of five double crochet stitches worked into one place is a shell. Either way of writing the instruction is correct, and we hope beginners enjoy the simplicity in this version (the stitch chart should help, too). THIS IS A GREAT PATTERN BECAUSE: Washcloths are fun projects to learn new crochet stitches (especially when you follow our crochet chart with the written instructions)! You can use these in the bath or kitchen (plus, they make great gifts)! This project works great with cotton yarns (just one skein or less)! You'll get to practice a lot of crochet skills: rows, stitch tension, stitch counting and recognition, shells (5 double crochet stitches into 1 space) , borders, gauge and size, finishing techniques and more!
