Ravelry: Bark Sledge Stitch Washcloth
Yarn: Pakucho 100% certified organic cotton, Color 025, Brown Vicuña
While I was in Yakima, Washington, I visited a cute little yarn shop there (Little Red Hen Yarns on Summitview) and found my favorite organic cotton yarn on sale and bought 3 skeins to bring home with me. With help from Ravelry, I found the perfect pattern for a highly textured crocheted washcloth on the Lion Brand site. While I don’t often visit the site due to the annoyance of having to register and log in to see the patterns, I discovered this morning that there’s a free iPhone/Touch app for Lion Brand that makes it easier to search for and use the patterns there. These were so quick to do and I’ll soon be able to replace all my well-loved washcloths.

Ohhh,,,love this!
I am with you on the Lion Brand site, I can’t stand it! Glad you found an app for it.

Thank you, Andi!
The cool thing about the app is you only sign in ONCE and never have to go through it again

ooh, I’ve never seen this yarn before. I’ll have to keep an eye out for it. Looks lovely as does your work!

Thank you! This cotton is very rustic and ideal for crocheting.

What a pretty stitch pattern! You have reminded me that I have a small stash of cotton that was intended for dishcloths – I might make that my mindless summer holiday project!

Thank you! Anna, this is a great stitch pattern for dishcloths and spa cloths – and super quick too!

That is an awesome stitch pattern. It reminds me of the star stitch in knitting, which is kind of a PITA to make, but I imagine it goes so much easier with crochet!

Thanks! It was incredibly fast! I’ve got two more skeins to go then I’m going to crochet through my dishcloth cotton stash.
