The stitch combo in the Boston Washcloth provides a wonderful sturdy texture for washcloths!
I love to use the Boston Washcloth in both my kitchen and bathroom!
This pattern is rated easy on the difficulty scale and uses very basic stitches.

I imagine that this would make a wonderful bath mat too.
Can you please tell me what the multiple is for this stitch? I’d like to make something bigger but don’t know how many chains to start with.
It’s a multiple of 3 + 1 for your starting chain.
I’m always looking for washcloth patterns and this one looks lovely! Thanks for the tip about corners, I tend to mess those up and always have to go back and fix.
I have big holes where I’m doing the three stitches (sc,hdc,sc). Am I doing something wrong?
This could be a number of factors. Maybe try a smaller hook and just add stitches to get the correct width and height? It could be the thickness of your yarn as well. I would try a smaller hook first though.
What yarn did you use for the cloths in the picture? Those are the exact colors I’m trying to find!! Thank you
Thank you for this easy washcloth/dishcloth. I needed a new pattern to work up. Great for Gifts, and for presents for Operation Christmas Child boxes. Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. ??
I love this pattern. Great texture if you want an exfoliating washcloth.
