Crochet cotton grit stitch washcloth in Lily Sugar'n Cream beach ball blue colorway

Looking for a beginner-friendly gift that you can make in just a few hours? These washcloths will become your go-to gift for the holidays this season. Or maybe you’re like me, looking to replace some worn-out dishcloths with something fresh and customizable to your decor.

Use cotton yarn when making washcloths because it is a durable and sustainable product that can hold up to some vigorous scrubbing. Additionally, you can feel good knowing you made something stylish, functional, and also eco-friendly.

Introducing the Cotton Grit Stitch Washcloth

I love washcloths and dishcloths because they are all about texture. Textured stitch patterns are often simple and enjoyable to work. For crochet washcloths, you want them to have a tight texture so that the washcloth doesn’t stretch and become holey after several uses. The texture also helps the cloth do what it’s intended to do – scrub.

If you’re a grit stitch lover, you know how lovely they look is and how easily these stitches come together.

Not familiar with the grit stitch? It’s not as intimidating as it looks. The grit stitch is made by making both a single crochet and double crochet stitch in the same stitch.
