How to crochet a textured crochet washcloth in 7 sizes with a free crochet pattern and video tutorial. The amazing texture makes this the perfect washcloth for exfoliating with in the shower and the perfect dishcloth for the kitchen.

This washcloth is part of the 2024 Mystery Washcloth Crochet a Long - Design 2.

Prefer a lighter yarn?
Try the Sport Weight Little Pebbles Washcloths, which come in the same 7 sizes.

Materials:

• 30 (40, 55, 70, 90, 105, 130) Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn - I used Queensland Cotton Coastal in the Porcelain and Malachite Green and colorways
• H8/5mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends
• Optional, Jewelry Pliers

Material Notes:
My original washcloths were made with Lily Sugar n Cream, and are in the Ecru and Solid Blue Jean colorways.

WeCrochet Dishie is a great yarn alternative, or a cotton/linen blend.

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.

Jewelry pliers are a great tool 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. My experience with Queensland Coastal Cotton has been that it is really smooth, and easy to weave the yarn in and out of, but I did find it a little tougher with these washcloths.

Time Spent:
I worked up the 7” washcloth in just under an hour.

Sizes:
4”, 5”, 6”, 7”, 8”, 9”, 10”

Gauge - Measured in Pattern (Not Essential):

• With the flat, back facing, 15 SC = 4” wide
• With the textured, front facing, 14 Rows = 4 1/8”

Note: If you are measuring a swatch that is only 15 stitches wide by 14 rows tall, the measurements will slightly vary. If working a swatch, I recommend working at least 21 stitches by 20 rows, but a swatch is not necessary for this project unless the finished size is essential to you.

When working the pattern, the border will add about 1/2” to the width and height. After working about 4 - 6 rows, you can measure the width, add in the border, and you will know if the finished size will be where you want it to be. The height is even easier to see as you can measure as you go, and stop when you get close to your desired height making sure to figure in the border.

Abbreviations (US Terms):

• SC – Single Crochet
• TR – Treble/Triple Crochet
