Easy Cotton Washcloth Crocheting Pattern: Quick Wattle Stitch

Make your own easy cotton washcloth with this quick crocheting pattern. This easy washcloth is made using the wattle stitch.

The wattle crochet stitch is an easy pattern of the single crochet, chain 1 and double crochet in the same stitch. The pattern has a easy repeat but doesn’t gain height very fast.

The wattle stitch makes an angled textured design. The pattern looks good in multicolored yarn, stripes, and solids.

I choose Peaches & Creme Cotton Yarn Stripey for this easy dishcloth. The yarn is soft and easy to work with. You can find it at your local store easily or online.
