Utilitarian crochet items are going through a bit of a renaissance. The Broken Rib washcloth is an excellent example of such a project. This pattern by Jessie Rayot has a lovely texture, which is not only attractive but also will serve well when you need to give something or someone a bit of a scrub.
Can This Washcloth Be Used for Facial Care?
It’s well-documented that a rubdown with a rough towel or cloth is excellent for your skin, so this little cloth should be perfect. Its bumpy surface makes it great for gentle peeling while being soft enough for the skin.
What Stitch Pattern Is Used in the Broken Rib Washcloth?
The crochet washcloth features a waffle stitch pattern made with a combination of front post double crochet and back post double crochet. These stitches create a raised effect, adding to the overall look and usefulness of the washcloth. The washcloth is seamless and worked in one piece.
The front and back post stitches are intermediate-level techniques – however, once you learn how to do them, this pattern is pretty easy to follow.
Yarn Choices for a Durable and Absorbent Washcloth
If you want your washcloth to be soft and, at the same time, durable, use 100% cotton yarn. Cotton fibers have a great ability to absorb and are perfect for making bathroom or kitchen items. The yarn recommended for this pattern is Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK.
Other great options are Lily Sugar’n Cream, WeCrochet Dishie, and Bernat Handicrafter Cotton. These DK-weight cotton yarns will give a washcloth the right mix of softness and strength while showing off the stitches nicely.
