The stitch I used for this crochet washcloth pattern:
Ok this one is definitely a keeper!
The waistcoat stitch makes such a perfect dense and clean fabric I can see so much potential in so many new designs
It creates this incredibly tight, almost woven-looking fabric that just feels substantial and luxurious.
When I first tried it, I was blown away by how smooth and uniform the texture turned out.
The density is just amazing, and I’m already dreaming up all sorts of ways I could use this stitch. Blankets, bags, maybe even a chic vest – the possibilities are totally endless.
Trust me, once you try the waistcoat stitch, you’ll be just as obsessed as I am
