C2C HDC Stitch Wash Cloth – Free Crochet Pattern
The C2C HDC Stitch Wash Cloth is rather quick to crochet and is worked on the diagonal corner-to-corner method. This makes a dense fabric that looks mesmerizing. Scroll down for the written instructions and a video tutorial on this pretty stitch.

This wash cloth is made on the diagonal, turning after each row. It makes a lovely, textured stitch. If you’re new to this, I have a video tutorial to show you how to make it.
For the large wash cloth I used Sugar’n Cream yarn, in the color Sage Green. It’s a #4 weight medium yarn and a size 5.00 mm H/8 crochet hook.
For the small wash cloth I used Bernat, Softee Baby Cotton yarn, in the color Cotton. It’s a #3 weight yarn and a size 5.00 mm H/8 crochet hook.
