Large Shell washcloth

• DESCRIPTION:

Using the tall Treble stitch ensures this pattern will work up quickly. This stitch is often overlooked because it can cause space between the stitches. However, working 7 of them in one stitch helps prevent that. It also creates a beautiful fan-like appearance.

• GAUGE & SIZING: Gauge (tension) isn’t very important in this project. For reference, my gauge is 2 shells and 4 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 8 inches.

• ABBREVIATIONS & STITCHES USED: ch = chain st = stitch sp = space sk = skip SC = Single Crochet Tr = Treble (also called a triple) 1 shell = 7 Tr in the same st * * = Repeat what is in asterisks the indicated number of times
