Basket Stitch Dishcloth
I love trying out new stitches on a dishcloth. It works up quick and I’m not committed to a big project if I don’t like it.
Here’s a dishcloth using the basket stitch.
Ch 34,
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each ch across, turn. (33 sc)
Row 2: ch 1, sc in 1st sc, sc in back loop only of next 31 sc, sc in last sc, turn.
Row 3: ch 1, sc in 1st sc, sc in back loop only of next 2 sc, *sc below, sc in back loop of next 3 sc, repeat from * to end, sc in last sc, turn.
Row 4: Repeat Row 2.
Row 5: ch 1, sc in 1st sc, *sc below next sc, sc in back loop of next 3 sc, repeat from * across, sc in last sc, turn.
Rows 6-39: Repeat Rows
Row 40: sc in each stitch across.
Fasten Off.
Happy Crocheting!
What size hook?
Michelle, you would use whatever hook is recommended for the yarn you are using.
