The Blanket Stitch Washcloth Pattern
Cotton washcloths are my go-to when I don’t have a lot of time to crochet because I can finish them pretty quickly, plus I really enjoy crocheting small and quick projects – nothing like the feeling of completing a crochet project for some instant gratification!

How to Crochet the Waffle Stitch
The waffle stitch looks like a complex stitch but it is really simple. It’s a beautiful textured stitch and a great one to learn as a beginner. The waffle stitch is made up of double crochets; regular double crochets and front post double crochets. If you don’t know how to front post double crochet, I made a separate video tutorial for you to learn how before making the washcloth. One of the things I love about this stitch, besides the gorgeous texture, is that it is versatile. You can adjust this washcloth pattern to make a bigger or smaller washcloth…
