This crochet ribbed stitch washcloth 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.
I came up with this ribbed pattern several months ago, and I have been brain-storming more ways to use it ever since! When I was planning out which stitches I wanted to include in the washcloth collection, I knew I had to include this one!
I definitely consider this washcloth to be one of the easiest patterns in the collection to make. The stitch pattern is extremely easy to do, only a 4 row repeat, and it only uses half double crochets!
I love a good ribbed project. You can never go wrong with ribbing – it’s such a classic and modern pattern.
I find it really interesting that while all of the washcloths in the collection are the same size, they take different amounts of time to make. This ribbed washcloth was the quickest one to make. It is so easy to whip on of these up in an afternoon or an entire set of these in a weekend!
