✿ Learn a new stitch, get a washcloth out of it

Want to learn the crochet moss stitch? This pattern walks you through the basics, with a video tutorial to help. It’s one of my favorite stitches for a nice, textured fabric.

And why not make something useful while you learn? We’ll practice the stitch by making a washcloth. Free on my blog too.
