The crochet Alpine stitch washcloth/dishcloth is beautiful and textured, perfect for everyday use. At the beginning this stitch may seem a little bit difficult, but is very easy, just be patient and you’ll see how beautiful it is and I’m sure you will enjoy this project.

For my crochet Alpine stitch washcloth/dishcloth I’ve used 50 g Pure cotton fine and a 3 mm hook.

cotton yarn

This is a very high-quality cotton yarn. This yarn is made from 100% combed Turkish cotton, which is soft, flexible, and exceptionally durable. Textiles in Turkish cotton stay beautiful for many years and only get softer with use. This yarn also excels when it comes to its absorbing powers, but is quick-drying at the same time. The color chart includes plenty of gorgeous colors, you just have to decide what color you like and get started. You can buy this yarn HERE.

The written instructions:
1.Row 1: 2 ch, 1 dc in 3rd chain of the hook, continue with dc until the end of the row.
2. Row 2: 1 ch, sc in each stitch.
3. Row 3: 2 ch, 1 fpdc in first dc of row 1; 1 dc, *1 fpdc, 1 dc*; repeat *-*;
4. Row 4: 1 ch, sc in each stitch of the previous row.
5. Row 5: 2 ch; *1 dc, 1 fpdc*; repeat *-*;

Make sure that where you have a double crochet on the previous row to make a front post double crochet and where you have a front post double crochet you will make a double crochet.

Repeat the pattern from row 2 until you reach the desired dimension.

After you finish the alpine stitch crochet a sc around the cloth.

For my wash/dishcloth, I’ve started with 54 ch and I’ve crocheted the Alpine stitch for 44 rows. Don’t forget to make the round of sc at the end.

My wash/dishcloth has a 23 cm (9 inches) length and 20 cm (8 inches) width.
