Hoven Washcloth Crochet Pattern

One of my favorite stitch designs from 2023 has got to be my Hoven Stitch. I just love the texture of this one! I thought it would be just perfect for a washcloth or dishcloth due to the ridges for extra cleaning ability.

"The unique ridges from this Hoven Stitch pattern create the perfect texture for extra tough cleaning. Finished washcloth with this pattern should measure approximately 8" wide by 7" tall but will stretch larger due to this stitch design."
