could this be done with double crochet as well?

@ladylejean215 Well, I've never tried that but I don't see why you couldn't. Let me know if you try it out and it works for you!

What is the stitch you used for the dishcloth? I would love the pattern for the dishcloth is you're willing to share.

@covikings The pattern for this washcloth is knitted and it is called Moss Stitch. You can find lots of videos here on youtube showing how to knit it. Here are the written instructions.

Any odd number

Rows 1 and 4: *k1, p1; rep from *, end k1

Rows 2 and 3: *p1, k1; rep from *, end p1

Any even number

Rows 1 and 2: *k1, p1; rep from *

Rows 3 and 4: *p1, k1; rep from *
