- To start this cro­chet project, you’ll need basic sup­plies, includ­ing worsted-weight cot­ton yarn, a size H (5.0 mm) cro­chet hook, and a yarn nee­dle.
- The wash­cloth fea­tures a love­ly bas­ket weave stitch pat­tern that pro­vides great tex­ture, mak­ing it an excel­lent choice for scrub­bing and soft­ness.
- This pat­tern is per­fect for begin­ner cro­cheters. You’ll begin with a foun­da­tion chain and then work the first stitch using a sin­gle cro­chet.
- The pat­tern will guide you through cre­at­ing the tex­tured bas­ket weave using slip stitch and dou­ble cro­chet stitch­es. We’ll explain the back loop, turn­ing chain, and oth­er impor­tant aspects sim­ply.
