Materials Needed
To make your Wash cloth, you’ll need:
- Yarn: creator recommends “I Love This Cotton” yarn, with the featured colorway being Emerald Pine (feel free to choose your favorite).
- Crochet Hook: A size suitable for your chosen yarn (refer to the yarn’s recommendations).
- Scissors: For trimming the yarn.
- Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Starting with the Foundation Chain
- Create a Slipknot: Begin by making a slipknot with your yarn.
- Chain 28 Stitches: This will form the foundation of your washcloth.
2. Row 1: Single Crochet
- Work Into the Second Chain: Insert your hook into the second chain from the hook, working single crochet (SC) stitches.
- Use the Back Bump: For a cleaner finish, the tutor suggests working into the back bump of each chain.
- Complete the Row: Continue single crochet stitches until the end of the row (27 stitches).
3. Row 2: Starting the Cluster Puff Stitches
- Chain Two: Begin by chaining two, which counts as the first double crochet (DC).
- Start the Cluster Puff Stitch:
- Yarn over, insert the hook into the same stitch, and pull up a loop.
- Yarn over again, and repeat in the next stitch (skipping one stitch).
- Pull through all loops on the hook and chain one to close the puff stitch.
- Continue Across the Row:
- Begin the next puff stitch in the same stitch where the previous puff started, skipping the next stitch and working into the following stitch.
- Repeat until the row is complete.
- Finishing the Row:
- After the last cluster puff stitch, work a double crochet into the same stitch as the last puff.
- You should have 13 cluster puffs in total, with double crochets on either end.
4. Rows 3–14: Building Texture
- Chain Two: Start each row with two chains (acts as a double crochet).
- Work In Spaces: From this point on, work the cluster puff stitches in the spaces between puff stitches from the previous row.
- Repeat the Pattern:
- Continue with the cluster puff pattern, ensuring there are 13 puffs per row and double crochets at each end.
- Repeat Until Row 14: Follow this approach for rows 3–14.
5. Row 15: Final Single Crochet Row
- Chain One: Begin with a single chain stitch.
- Single Crochet Across: Work single crochet stitches into every space or stitch from the previous row.
- Finishing the Final Stitch:
- Insert your hook into the top of the chain two from the previous row for the last single crochet.
- This ensures a cleaner edge.
6. Optional Border
- Add a Border: For a more polished look, work single crochet stitches along the edges of the washcloth.
- Round the Corners: Place two or three single crochet stitches in each corner to round them for a neat finish.
Special Features
- Thick & Textured Design: The cluster puff stitches add a squishy, thick texture, making it perfect for scrubbing and absorbing water.
- Quick to Work Up: The simple repetitive pattern ensures the washcloth can be made quickly, even for beginners.
- Versatile Usage: Ideal as a washcloth, baby face cloth, gift item, or market seller due to its attractive design and functionality.
Level of Difficulty
This project is at a beginner–intermediate level. While single crochet and double crochet are easy to master, the cluster puff stitch may require a few attempts to perfect. However, the pattern provides clear guidance to ensure success.
Tutor’s Suggestions
- Work Neatly: Use the back bump of the foundation chain for a clean edge.
- Customizable Design: You can adjust the size of the washcloth by increasing or decreasing the number of chains or rows.
- Border Addition: If opting for a border, ensure you add enough stitches in each corner for a smooth finish.

Pro Tip
When adding the optional border, avoid tightly crocheting the corners. Looser stitches here will help prevent curling and provide a smoother finish.
