What can I tell you about this Almond Stitch Crochet washcloth?

1. It uses only 2 basic stitches: the slip stitch and half double crochet
2. When using two strands you get a very very strong washcloth
3. I love to use them in showers but can be used in the kitchen as well

• From row 2, all stitches will be worked on the back loop only
• I used two strands for this pattern for a more sturdy fabric

Finishing

I am using two strands of yarn so the fabric is very straight and sturdy and no need for an edge around.

If you use one strand- consider adding an edge of Single crochet stitches around- one on each st and (sc 1+ch1+sc1) on each corner

Enjoy!
