How to crochet a bobble stitch crochet washcloth in 7 sizes with this free pattern using your favorite worsted weight yarn. The awesome texture makes this the perfect washcloth for exfoliating with in the shower and the perfect dishcloth for the kitchen.

You can easily work a bobble stitch washcloth in one solid color, or carry a second color throughout the project so you can switch to it for the pops of color in the bobbles – so much fun! Just keep in mind, when you carry yarn throughout it adds a little bit of bulkiness, which would make the washcloth longer, even if worked in equal rows with a washcloth worked in a solid color.

If you’re looking for a gift, work up a set of three, and wrap with a bow, or place in a spa or kitchen themed gift basket with some coasters, which are perfect for cups, as mini washcloths, large facial scrubbies and so much more!

This pattern has been around since 2019 when I originally released my first eBook, Let’s Crochet Some Washcloths Vol 1. I offered it in 2 Sizes and worked them up in Lily Sugar n Cream. Fast forward to 2024, I am fully updating it in a new yarn, adding multiple sizes to have my new range of sizes from 4″ up to 10″ and it will soon get a video tutorial.

• Bobblish Soap Cozy
• Bobblish Scarf in 4 Sizes
• Volume One Hand Towel
• 12” Volume One Afghan Square

Materials:

• 25 (40, 60, 85, 105, 135, 165) Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn – I used Queensland Coastal Cotton in the Malachite Green and Porcelain colorways
• H8/5mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle
• Optional: Jewelry Pliers

Material Notes:
Yarn Alternative: WeCrochet Dishie Yarn

If you wanted to use this as an afghan square instead, use your favorite worsted weight yarn paired with an I9/5.5mm crochet hook (because cotton yarn is more relaxed than say an acrylic or wool).

If you experience ruffling when working the border, this is caused from a change, especially seen on the sides. My quick fix is to simply go down a hook size to a G6/4.25mm. You can also continue with the same hook you’ve been working with, and just block the finished washcloth. Usually, I run into this issue, but with the Queensland Coastal Cotton, I did not so I kept the same hook throughout.

I usually recommend jewelry pliers to use to help weave in ends, as cotton yarn can be quite tough on the fingers when weaving in with just fingers and a tapestry needle, but Queensland Coastal Cotton is really smooth, and easy to weave the yarn in and out of.

Time Spent:
I was able to work up the 7″ in just under an hour and a half.

Sizes:
4”, 5”, 6”, 7”, 8”, 9”, 10”

Gauge (Not Essential):
15 stitches = 4″ wide by 17 Rows = 4 1/8″ tall

Note: If you are measuring a swatch that is only 15 stitches wide by 17 rows tall, the measurements will slightly vary. If working a swatch, I recommend working at least 21 stitches by 21 rows, but a swatch is not necessary for this project unless the finished size is essential to you.

Abbreviation (US Term):
- SC - Single Crochet (Tutorial included)

Special Stitch:
- Bobble (Explained)
