Granule Stitch Washcloth Pattern
When you purchase through links on my site, I may earn an affiliate commission.
Here’s how it works.
The Granule Stitch is a neat textured crochet stitch that creates little nubs on one side of your fabric and a solid flat back on the reverse side of your fabric. I love the bumpy texture it creates! Give the Granule Stitch Washcloth a try yourself with my free crochet pattern which includes a helpful video tutorial.
For this month’s Washcloth of the Month Club project I used 1 ball of Big Value Recycled Dishcloth Cotton that was sent to me King Cole Yarn and a 4 mm (G) crochet hook. This yarn is a blend of 85% Cotton and 15% Polyester. Each 100 g ball contains approximately 175 yards (160 meters). You will need one ball of this yarn for today’s project.

sc picot st – insert your hook into the stitch indicated, pull up 1 loop, chain 3 stitches in the loop you just pulled up (2 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook to complete the stitch. Push the picots through to the right side of the work.

Notes:
- Stitch multiple of 2 + 2
- The final ch 1(turning chain) of the row does not count as a stitch
- When I work into the foundation chain, I prefer working into the back bar (back bump) of the chain. You can work under the back loop only if you prefer.
- For the video tutorial I used a 4 mm (G) crochet hook and the gauge using the smaller hook is approximately 18 sts per 4 inches and 16 rows per 4 inches. If you use a 4 mm (G) your washcloth will measure approximately 9 inches wide.

How to Crochet the Granule Stitch
You can make your project to any size you wish with the stitch multiple. Simply chain an even number of chains to the width you want for your project, then chain 2 extra chains. Follow the instructions below.
For my sample I chained 18.
Row 1: Ch an even number of chains, plus 2 chains. Skip the first ch. 1 sc in the next ch and each rem ch across. Ch 1, turn.
Row 2: 1 sc in the first st, 1 sc picot st in the next st (*see special stitches). *1 sc in the next st, 1 sc picot st in the next st**. Work from * to ** across. Ch 1, turn.
Row 3: 1 sc in each st across. Ch 1, turn.
Repeat Row 2 and Row 3 for pattern.
