This crochet cobblestone stitch washclothwashcloth is part of a washcloth set called the Sampler Stitch Washcloth Collection. Each washcloth uses a different stitch, but they all pair really well together. You can find the other washcloth patterns HERE.
Out of all of the washcloths this *might* be my favorite.
In fact this stitch may be one of my all time favorite stitches. The stitch pattern is so simple (only a two stitch repeat!) and it creates the most beautiful little bobble-ly texture!
This stitch is also super versatile. This stitch can be used for just about anything – blankets, scarves hats, etc..
I love how modern it looks (especially in a neutral color!), but this stitch also has a fun and quirky vibe to it. The possibilities with this stitch are endless. Enjoy the free pattern below!

For some reason, the ending of row 4 isn’t processing for me? the whole triple stitch and slip stitch aspect. do you have a video or maybe a different way to explain it? sorry! it is probably just “mom” brain, but i cannot figure out what you mean? thank you!!
Mandy,
In the last stitch of the fourth row, you will work both 1 triple crochet stitch and 1 slip stitch. But when starting row 5, you will skip over the slip stitch and just work in to the triple crochet, so that you will maintain the correct stitch count. The reason why you work the slip stitch is so that the triple crochet will become a little bobble on the right side and look like the other triple crochet stitches. If you don’t work the slip stitch, the triple stitch will just be a long gappy stitch at the end of the row. I hope this helps!
Got it!! Thank you for re-explaining it!! I appreciate you taking the time! 🙂
Hi and thank you for the lovely cobblestone pattern! I was wondering if you have a trick to getting your “bobbly” stitches to puff up? I’m wondering if I’m using too much tension when I do the stitch. I tried loosening it up, but they still don’t puff up like yours in the picture. I’m using Hobby Lobby’s “Love this Yarn” 100% cotton. Thank you again – I can’t wait to try the other patterns!
Hello Amy!
It might be the yarn you are using. “I Love This Cotton” is a lot more drapey than the yarn I used (Lion Brand Re-up, which is a pretty traditional kitchen yarn). You could also try going up a hook size and see if that helps.
I hope this helps!
