This free crochet pattern is called the Linked Crochet Washcloth and features the linked treble crochet stitch. It creates a durable crochet home decor item.
If you are a beginner in crochet and just want to learn a new stitch or have a small challenge, this for sure is a great project for you.
However, even as a more experienced crocheter you will want to crochet this Linked Crochet Washcloth.
It makes a great addition to any home or even have it be part of a stunning gift set. You might want to make a few to sell on the craft stall.
Also, when I use non-linked crochet stitches and use the washcloths, I always feel like they stretch out too much.
After all, they do get used a lot round my house.
When they are wet 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. The purpose remains the same.
Although they have a different name, they have the same purpose; aiding you to wash something whether it is your body or your dishes.
