Wattle Stitch Washcloth - Free Washcloth Crochet Pattern

Hello my amazing crafty friend, I hope you are having both a wonderful day and week! Cannot believe we are quickly approaching the fall season already. Have I tried my first pumpkin spice latte and hot apple cider of the season.... oh you know it! How about you? Are you more of a pumpkin spice latte or apple cider drinker?

As I was sipping on that first delightful apple cider this past week, I started thinking of what pattern to share with you this week. The pattern need to be either something that can be used during a specific holiday season (I am looking at you Halloween) or can be used all year long. That is when the idea of a washcloth came to mind. I have been wanting to make washcloths for a very long time but just did not have the time to, until today!

Today we will be tackling the Wattle Stitch Washcloth, and as stated in the pattern, we will be using the wattle stitch. The great thing about this stitch is once you go past row two, you will be repeating the pattern until the desired length and it brings a lot of beautiful texture to the washcloth. With Halloween in the brain, I used the candy corn colors to create this washcloth. The great thing about all of my designs are that you are the creator and you get to decide what colors to use. Definitely make sure to tag me on instagram, love seeing all of the beautiful yarn colors! Alright, lets get into this washcloth design!

 

 Notes:

1. Important note, when creating either this or any other washcloth pattern, I highly recommend using cotton yarn. That way the shape and structure of the design will remain in tack.
2. For this pattern, I used 3 different cotton yarn colors. You can also use
   
3. This pattern is for personal use only. Please do not sell this pattern as your own. Please feel free to sell the finished item and do give credit to Fresh Cut Yarn.
