Ridgeline Washcloth Series, Part 2

May 7, 2018

The first washcloth in this Ridgeline Series can be viewed here, featuring two pairs of ridges that travel along the outer sides of the cloth. Today I have part 2 of this series for you, which features these ridges not just along the outer edges but also through the center of the cloth. This is my personal favorite from this series (but, shhhhh, don’t tell the others!).

And, just as in part 1 of this series, there is a fun texture on the back of your finished piece as well!

You can add this pattern to your Ravelry queue here or Pin It for later here.

Finished size: approximately 9” x 8 ½”

My Materials:

  • worsted weight cotton yarn, (a little more than ½ skein of Sugar ’n Cream – Lavender was used)
  • Hook I (5.5 mm)
  • tapestry needle

Abbreviations:

  • ch – chain
  • sc – single crochet
  • dc – double crochet
  • FPDC – front post double crochet
  • BPDC – back post double crochet

Notes:

  • The ch 2 at the beginning of each row counts as the first dc, which means that the first stitch of the previous row is skipped over to compensate.
  • To make the washcloth wider, add stitches to your starting chain. To make the washcloth longer, add rows.

The Pattern:

Ch 30

Row 1: Dc in third chain from hook (the skipped chains count as the first dc) and each remaining chain across (29 dc)

Row 2: Ch 2 (counts as first dc of this row and every dc row throughout), turn, skip the first stitch, FPDC in second stitch, FPDC in next, dc in the next 9, FPDC, dc, FPDC, dc, FPDC, dc in the next 9, FPDC in next 2, dc in the starting ch of the previous row (29 dc)

Finish off and tie in ends.
