Reed Crossover Stitch Crochet Washcloth Pattern
The Reed Crossover Stitch Washcloth is a quick, satisfying make that looks way more impressive than the stitch count would suggest. It’s worked flat using the Reed Crossover Stitch, a simple 2-row repeat built entirely from double crochet, chain 1, and single crochet. The result is a beautifully textured, woven-looking fabric with a lace-meets-mesh quality — and it’s fully reversible, so you get to choose which side you like best.
Each washcloth is finished with a clean single-crochet edge round, followed by a fun zigzag slip-stitch border that gives it just enough personality to feel intentional. A video tutorial walks you through every step, including the Reed Crossover Stitch itself, so you’re never left guessing.
Choose from two sizes: Small or Large. Both work up quickly and are equally at home on a bathroom shelf, in a gift basket, or at a craft fair table.
