How to knit
A washcloth knitted from polypropylene threads, but not too thick, would be ideal and tough. It is best to purchase twine that resembles thin braid. It is very easy to knit with one thread. For medium sized washcloths you will need about 350 meters of thread. It is better to buy such twine with a reserve, so that you do not have to look for threads that match the color and thickness for the product if there are not enough of them. Such polypropylene threads are sold in any hardware or handicraft store.

Next we should dial p. for the 1st p. thus: 1 p. on the edge. already there, 3rd century. p., s. without n. with p. opposite sex end of the chain (close the loop), 32 v. p, conn. in a circle Now we continue to work in a circle without lifting steps: 1 and 2 pp.: 36 s. without n..
The elongated loops for the “spines” can be made either identical or of varying degrees of “elongation”. We will use the second option, since this way our hedgehog will look more realistic.
So, we introduce a hook in the previous paragraph. R. (as if you are making a simple s. without n.), extend the st., but do not finish the column. We get 2 stitches on the edge, throw on the working stitch. on the thumb of the left hand, from the same st. we knit another 1 st. = 3 sts on the edge.., then we knit them in one step so that they do not unravel..
3 p.: 24 s. with extended stitches, 12 s. without n..

How to crochet a washcloth You can study it in detail in this master class. Loofah with extended loops It turns out lush, perfectly foams, cleanses and massages the skin.
You can buy polypropylene yarn especially for knitting washcloths; you will need 2 skeins of 50 grams each, in two contrasting colors and a hook number 2.5.
To start crocheting a washcloth, cast on a chain of 50 chain stitches and close it into a ring with a connecting post.
Along the chain, knit two rows of single crochets. It is not necessary to make lifting loops at the beginning of the row if you knit the stitches in a spiral.
To make a long loop, before knitting a stitch, the working thread should be on the index finger, as usual.
Insert the hook into the loop along the row, grab the working thread from below index finger, a loop forms on your finger, pull the loop onto the hook.
Grab the working yarn again and knit two loops from the hook, completing the stitch.
After knitting the stitch, release your index finger from the long loop.
*To knit the next stitch with a long loop, reinsert the hook into the loop along the row, grab the working thread from the bottom of your index finger and pull the loop through. Grab the working thread again, knit stitches from the hook and slip a long loop off your index finger.* Repeat steps * to * when knitting stitches with long loops.
Having knitted 4 circular rows of stitches with long loops, change the color of the thread by attaching a new one from another skein. Do not cut the remaining thread; after 4 rows to change the color of the thread, pull the thread along the side and continue knitting the next 4 rows with it. So alternate the color of the thread every 4 rows until you knit a washcloth of the desired length.
Finally, knit 2 round stitches. b/n, a row of connecting posts and tie the handle. To do this, cast on a long chain of chain stitches, attach it to the opposite side with a connecting stitch, make another connecting stitch along the row and knit a row of sts back along the chain. b/n. At the end of the row, make a connecting stitch along the side of the washcloth, knit another row of single crochets along the handle and cut and fasten the thread.
At the other end of the washcloth, also tie a handle.
Not all hand-knitted items are clothing items. You can also tie a washcloth for bathing. After all, yarn can be made not only from wool or cotton, but also from polypropylene, products from which are easy to lather and scrub off the dead skin layers well, and then wash and dry quickly. It is pleasant to wash with such a washcloth.
We will tell you how to crochet a washcloth in a variety of shapes - classic rectangular, mitten-shaped or in the form of various toys filled with foam rubber. Children will find such bathing especially enjoyable, and adults will enjoy using handmade products that are much better than store-bought washcloths.
No holes are formed in the proposed washcloth; its loops hold firmly without moving apart. The washcloth is crocheted from special threads for washcloths using crochet number 2 into one thread. The washcloth is knitted on both sides, in the round, for which 30-40 air loops are cast. The width of the washcloth depends on their number. The synthetic thread resembles polypropylene tape, but this does not interfere with crocheting at all.
Having typed the specified number of loops, we connect them into a ring with a connecting post. The next 4-5 rows are knitted with single crochet or single crochet; no pulled loops are formed on these rows. Then comes the turn of the rows with these loops, knitted in such a way that they cannot stretch and disrupt the configuration of the product.
Video lesson:
The thread that is used to create the washcloth is specifically designed for creating washcloths and rugs; it is made of polypropylene. You can choose a thread of different colors - the color range is quite wide. A carefully knitted washcloth is much more durable than a store-bought one. First of all, a chain of air loops is assembled, twice as long as the width of the future washcloth. You need to knit carefully, not allowing the thread to delaminate.
The edges of the chain are connected to each other, and a handle is immediately knitted for holding a washcloth, made of 3-4 stitches. Everything is told step by step for beginners, all actions are described in detail. After several regular rows, rows with elongated loops are knitted, which are tied around the thumb.
Video lesson:
When knitting this washcloth, elongated loops are knitted on both sides. To obtain a more fluffy washcloth, knitting was carried out in two threads. That is, two skeins are used or one, then the second end is additionally pulled from the inside. After casting on an air row of loops, a row of stitches with one crochet is knitted.
The next row is knitted without double crochet. After the third row, we begin knitting with elongated loops, forming them thumb. In the last stitch of the row, a single crochet stitch is knitted. After turning the work over, the next row is knitted with similar elongated loops, and they end up on the opposite side of the product.
Video lesson:
The product is knitted in the round and has two layers. Using double crochets allows you to knit a washcloth twice as quickly and at the same time reduce thread consumption. The washcloth turns out to be soft, gentle, and quite comfortable to wash with. Threads to create the product were used in two colors, since the product is made with a gradient.
We knit with two threads using crochet number 5. 35 air loops are cast on and closed with a ring. The next row is knitted with single crochets. Then the elongated loops are knitted with a double crochet. To make the loops elongated, they are formed using the thumb. The stitches knit together very quickly. Subsequent rows are knitted similarly.
Video lesson:
The washcloth-mitten, made of threads of various colors, resembles a fancy flower. To make it neat and fluffy, we work with one thread. We start with five air loops, which are looped and after one lifting loop are knitted in a circle using single crochets. In the next row, already elongated loops are knitted between the columns of the previous row, securing them with single crochets.
After the air lifting loop, a row is formed with single crochets, increasing their number: one and two stitches are knitted into cells in turn. Then a whole row of elongated loops is knitted again. Gradually other colors are included, and in the photo the washcloth resembles a flower.
Video lesson:
To make the washcloth look fluffy, you need to use a polypropylene thread folded in half. We begin the work with a set of thirty air loops and connect them with a ring. We knit a single crochet into each of the air loops. In the next row, single crochets alternate with single crochets. Then the same pattern is repeated.
In the next row, we knit elongated loops into each of the columns of the previous row. These loops are secured in a row consisting of single crochet stitches. The front side with elongated loops remains on the inside. The alternation of loops is repeated until the required length. Next, the washcloth is turned inside out.
Video lesson:
This master class is designed for those who do not know how to knit at all. The training begins with a story about how to properly hold the hook, ensuring its movement. The initial loops are also described in detail. The result is a chain of air loops, connected by a ring that serves as a cuff for the product. A row of single crochets is formed; five rows is enough.
In the next rows, elongated loops begin to form, which are draped over the thumb. The technique for creating these loops is discussed in detail on the screen. Further rows are knitted exactly the same until the washcloth reaches the specified length. You can change the color of the thread.
Video lesson:
The yarn used is double, hook number 5. First of all, 36 chain stitches are cast on, they are connected with a ring, and a row is knitted in single crochets. In the next row, only single crochet stitches are used, then two more similar rows are knitted. Let's start creating the main pattern.
A cone is formed from three yarn overs knitted together. Two stitches are skipped, and another cone of four yarn overs is knitted. The entire row is formed from such cones. This pattern with cones is repeated from row to row. A washcloth made of cones arranged in a checkerboard pattern ends with a cuff made of rows of single crochets.
Video lesson:
The washcloth, painted in the colors of the Russian flag, is knitted from special yarn for washcloths. We cast on 35 loops, this number will determine the width of the washcloth. The chain of loops is closed, and you can start knitting in the round. The first rows are simple, they form the cuff of the washcloth.
Next, elongated loops of the same size begin to form in the rows, which is ensured by throwing each loop over the thumb. After knitting a third of the length of the washcloth, the color changes; another replacement of yarn is made at 2/3 of the full length of the washcloth. Before completing the knitting, two circles of simple loops are knitted to form the cuffs. Next the handle is knitted.
Video lesson:
Work begins with a set of 30 air loops. The resulting chain is looped, and two rows are knitted with single crochets. The next row is knitted with single crochets. Next, the main pattern is knitted, consisting of three double crochets, with a gap of two double crochets between them.
It turns out beautiful pattern, which also closes into a ring. This three-stitch pattern is repeated on all subsequent rows until the remaining length of the washcloth is knitted. The washcloth ends, as it began, with two single crochets. The washcloth is almost complete, all that remains is to tie the handles.

Crocheting is a favorite hobby of many housewives, which can bring not only joy from the process itself, but also a very original, beautiful and pleasant result, in the form of things necessary for everyday life. The above includes such an ordinary thing as a round washcloth using a regular hook.
We crochet a round washcloth in a step-by-step master class with diagrams
Since ancient times, people have resorted to various subjects, which could replace a washcloth: tufts of grass, mosses, pebbles. Today, the developed trade industry offers a huge variety of washcloths, all kinds, shapes, colors. But at the same time, nothing prevents any family from having homemade knitted individual washcloths for each family member. After all homemade products can take into account individual preferences in the hardness, shape, length and color of the washcloth. To knit a washcloth you only need a hook, thread and a little time. In this article we will look at several simple models washcloths, which anyone can knit if desired.
You should not use acrylic or wool yarn to knit washcloths. It is better to take such threads from natural materials, like twine, sisal, linen threads. And for knitting waterproof and brightly colored items, the most common material is considered to be artificial polypropylene thread. The color scheme depends on the tastes and preferences of the needlewoman and who the washcloth is intended for.
When knitting, it is advisable to achieve loose knitting, since then the washcloth will be softer, more flexible and lathers well. You can tie a bulky washcloth and put a piece of soap and foam rubber inside. Then it will be convenient to use.
When knitting, it is better to choose a hook No. 5-No. 7, since a thinner tool will produce a denser and stiffer product.
Using this pattern, experienced knitters can easily make a round washcloth.
And for those who need more detailed instructions, this example of knitting round washcloths is offered.
- First, we cast on 6 air loops. We close it into a ring. We knit the next row with double crochets - 12 stitches. To make the washcloth fluffy, you can knit one regular stitch, and the next with an elongated loop.
- Third round: double crochet - two from each loop.
- Fourth round: knit without increments.
- We knit the following circles, alternating knitting: 1 row *double crochet*, 2nd row *single crochet*. Thanks to this knitting, the product will turn out flat and round, and will not bend.
- Penultimate round: From one loop, make two double crochets. From the next loop, knit only one stitch.
- Last round: knitted by alternating two double crochets from one base and two chain stitches.
- We tie and tie the handle.
It turns out to be such a washcloth.
Let's look at creating a model with elongated loops: how to knit
The peculiarity of this washcloth is that the elongated loops form a soft coating that retains water well and gently massages the body.
To knit such a washcloth we will need a hook and threads of different colors. To make the washcloth voluminous, fluffy and beautiful, it is recommended to knit it from two threads of different colors. Using this technique, you can knit washcloths of any shape and style, but this master class is dedicated to just such a washcloth.
- At the beginning of the work, the threads (if there are several of them) are folded together and a chain of air loops is knitted from them. If width finished product It is planned to be about 10cm, then you need to knit a chain about 20cm long. That is, cast on 24-30 air loops.
- We connect the finished chain into a ring using a connecting loop, and then we tie the resulting ring with single crochets. We knit 5 rows.
- Further knitting is done using double crochets with elongated loops. Here's how to knit elongated stitches:
- The thread is caught by the hook;
- The hook is brought into the loop of the previous row;
- The working thread is grabbed from both sides, so that thumb a loop has formed in the hands;
- Threads are pulled through the loop of this row and the loop is thrown off the finger. There should be four loops left on the hook;
- Now the working thread is grabbed by the hook and pulled through two loops;
- The working thread is grabbed again and pulled through the remaining two loops that remain on the hook;
- We knit rows of stitches with elongated loops, without changes, so much so that it is convenient to use a washcloth.
- Having reached this length, we again knit 5 rows with regular single crochets and finish knitting.
- In the last stage, we tie two strips along the width of the washcloth handles and tie them to the main part of the washcloth. The washcloth is ready.
