Also, when I use non-linked crochet stitches and use the washcloths, I always feel like they stretch out too much. When they are wetted with water, you want the stitches to stay together so you can actually use it to wash yourself without having holes in it.
And of course, you can use this stunning washcloth also as a dishcloth. Although they have a different name, they have the same purpose; aiding you to wash something whether it is you body or your dishes.
The Linked Treble Crochet looks like 3 rows of single crochets with horizontal bars, but are actually treble crochet stitches that are literally linked together as you crochet.
If you have never tried this stitch before you should learn how to. I have created a very lengthy photo and video tutorial how to crochet this incredible that makes you feel like you are crocheting Tunisian crochet stitches. Find the tutorial HERE.
