A Nubby Texture Pattern to Use Up My Stash

I have been spending far too much time on Pinterest and Craftgawker when I should be doing more constructive things.  I can't help it though, Pinterest, especially, is so addictive! 


I am inspired by all the other projects people have completed or are working on.  Then I get the little voice in my head that says, "go buy more yarn and make me!"  I grab my purse and the car keys ready to go out the door, then I cast a guilty glance towards my craft closet door and knowing what is in there, stops me in my tracks. 


Behind that door is miles and miles of yarn, cotton thread, fabric, ribbon, elastic and all sorts of crafting gee gaws.  I resolve this year to not buy anymore until I use up what I have and to FINISH projects I started. 


My first step in that direction is to use up all the cotton yarn I have by making as many dishcloths as I have to!  Here's a look at my progress in that area:

It's an easy pattern to follow:

• Using a US-H size crochet hook chain 30 for your foundation chain
• Row 1 - SC (single crochet) in 2nd chain from hook TR (Treble Crochet) in next chain.  Repeat SC and TR to end of foundation chain ending with a SC, chain 1 and turn.
• Row 2 - SC across, 29 times - starting in top of SC from previous row.
• Repeat these two rows until desired size - ending on row 1.  My dishcloth was worked in 25 rows.

I also made smaller ones to use up cotton yarn that I did not have enough to make a full size cloth.

• Using a US-H size crochet hook chain 20 for your foundation chain
• Row 1 - SC (single crochet) in 2nd chain from hook TR (Treble Crochet) in next chain. Repeat SC and TR to end of foundation chain ending with a SC, chain 1 and turn.
• Row 2 - SC across, 19 times - starting in top of SC from previous row.
• Repeat these two rows until desired size - ending on row 1. My dishcloth was worked in 17 rows.

Hope this helps you use up some of your stash so you can buy more too!
