Parquet Washcloth

• DESCRIPTION:

The Parquet stitch is a gorgeous stitch which is also called the Primrose stitch. Rows of DC clusters alternate with rows of single crochets and chains to create a very distinctive texture. Feminine without being dainty or delicate, this pattern creates a beautiful and durable fabric.

• GAUGE & SIZING: Gauge (tension) isn’t very important in this project. For reference, my gauge is 6 groups of DC and 11 rows per 4". Play around with hook sizes until you find one that makes a fabric you like. This pattern is written to produce a washcloth that is roughly 8 inches by 7 inches.
