Wattle Stitch Dishcloth or Washcloth

By A Stitch In Time Crochet

A textured little cloth for dishes, baths, or gifting!

Materials

• 100% cotton yarn or a cotton blend
• G/4.0 mm crochet hook
• Yarn needle and scissors

US crochet terms: ch = chain; sc = single crochet; dc = double crochet; sk = skip; st = stitch.

Wattle stitch: Work (sc, ch 1, dc) all in the same stitch or chain space.

Pattern

Starting chain: Ch 25.

Row 1: Sc in the 2nd ch from the hook and in each ch across. (24 sc) Ch 1 and turn.

Row 2: Sc in the first st. Work (sc, ch 1, dc) in the next st. Sk 2 sts, work (sc, ch 1, dc) in the next st. Repeat from * to * until one st remains. Sc in the last st. Ch 1 and turn.

Row 3: Sc in the first st. Work (sc, ch 1, dc) in each ch-1 space across. Sc in the last st. Ch 1 and turn.

Rows 4–18: Repeat Row 3. After Row 18, fasten off and weave in the ends.

Notes

• The beginning ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
• On Row 2, work each wattle stitch into a stitch. On later rows, work it into a ch-1 space.
• You’ll have 8 wattle stitch groups in each textured row.
• For a larger cloth, continue repeating Row 3 to your desired length.
