The Not so Vintage Washcloth crochet pattern is a unique circle design featuring rounds of gorgeous puff stitches!
I love using crochet washcloths around my own home! I also love to give them as gifts! Occasionally, when I am given a pie or savoury dish, I like to tuck a crochet washcloth into the empty dish when I return it. My mother always reminded me, “Never return a dish empty!” Crochet washcloths are a great way for me to show my appreciation for a lovely meal or dessert.
Crochet washcloths, like the Not so Vintage Washcloth also make a great gift for special occasions, perhaps a housewarming or holiday stocking stuffer and Christmas gift. This washcloth pairs beautifully with the free Not so Vintage Hot Pad Crochet Pattern and would make a lovely gift set. Make it in a variety of colours on in a solid!

How it’s Made:
This crochet washcloth pattern is worked in rounds starting from the centre. This is a great scrap yarn project as after each round you will fasten off and weave in your ends. You may even use those smaller scraps of cotton yarn! Mix and match your colours, you can even coordinate them for the season. There are so many options.
The round washcloth is worked primarily in crochet puff stitches. This gives the washcloth a wonderful thick texture that is absorbent and can be used on a variety of surfaces.
Materials:
For the Not so Vintage Hot Pad, I will be working with three colours of a worsted weight 100% cotton yarn. In the photos and in the video tutorial I am using the Pima Cotton Yarn by Lion Brand Yarn. It is super soft and 100% cotton. You will only need one partial ball of each to complete this pattern.
For this pattern you will also need a 5 mm crochet hook. In the video tutorial below I will be using a Birchwood Hook by Rowan Yarns.
