Waffle Crotchet Tutorial You may remember in the Wash Your Washcloths post a dish cloth featured and I said I would show you the stitch.... Here 'tis. It's my all time go to for blankets. I know the granny is an old time favourite and looks really retro at the moment and it is OK for a climate like QLD, but this waffle type construction traps warm air and provides the cosiest rug of really robust construction. Ideal for the Tasmanian conditions. The best thing is there are very few rules and I find it uses up scrap wool effectively. If you want to make a dish cloth, use pure cotton and those lovely scrubby ridges give just the grunt you need on some of the tough jobs. For rugs, use whatever you want to use up. These are great for watching TV or emergency back up in the car. Whether you make a single or a king size, it's up to you and how many chain stitches you do. Even my edge was done with scrap. The crochet terms I use are Australian/English Make a chain..... So go ahead and make a tr in the 4th stitch there.

Felted Button - Colorful Crochet Patterns: Mama's Wash Cloths--Free Crochet Pattern My sweet mom loves when I make her wash cloths and dish cloths. Someone asked me why crocheted wash cloths are so great. And although I love the possible textures, and the ease of wash and functional use, I think the thing I like about them most is that they are HANDMADE!! (right, Fauna?) So I came up with this simple little textured cloth that works up without much brain energy but can be made in any colors or any size. ...I'm sharing the free pattern here. These were completed with some awesome color changes and without the border. The litttle wiggles of the stitch pattern are not so obvious in a single color but really "shine" when worked in a contrasting color. There are so many options with this one! If you haven't stayed in the "Button Loop" you can follow me around in my colorful crazy crocheting fun... | On the Board | -- God looks at us in all our smallness and says, "Yes, those things you do, those things you think are small--they matter.
