Vertical Garden Bobble Washcloths – Free Crochet Pattern

May 4, 2019

The Vertical Garden Bobble Washcloths is a free crochet pattern featuring some fun green colored cotton yarn, and the trendy bobble crochet stitch pattern.

This post contains affiliate links for LoveCrochet. If you make a purchase by clicking on them, I make a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thanks for your support!

I have been working on a new eBook to accompany my Soap Cozy or Small Gift Bag Vol 1 eBook – washcloths! I was hoping to have it done this weekend, but it is going to be mid week next week, and I will have a special code for it too!

Anywho, in needing a bobble washcloth, this pattern was the first that crossed my mind, and so I went with it, and I really love the pattern with the fun pops of color, straight vertical rows, and even the added little bit from the border being worked from the wrong side.

The bobble pattern that is staggered to match the soap cozy/small gift bag will be in my new eBook, and I decided to share this one with you today 🙂

Really, this pattern is like 4-in-1 because when the yarn is carried behind to work the bobbles in a different color, the pattern is one way (because there is a little more bulk), and worked in one solid color, the pattern is another way, and with both versions, I have two sizes provided.

If you would like a PDF version of this post, you may get one through either my EyeLoveKnots Etsy Shop, Ravelry or LoveCrochet Shop for a small fee. This fee is to compensate for the views lost when you no longer need to return to the blog to for the information, as you will have your own copy. Plus! It helps fund supplies for new projects to share with you!

Are you a Raveler? Share your version of this project on Ravelry – Vertical Garden Bobble Washcloths.

Materials:

  • 100 – 120 Yards each of Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn – I used Lily Sugar n Cream in Mod Green (CA) and Hot Green (CB), and Bernat Geometric in the Emerald Energy Ombre colorway
  • H8/5mm Crochet Hook
  • #18 Tapestry Needle
  • Opt. Jewelry Pliers which make it much easier to weave in your ends

Material Notes:

Yarn Alternatives: Bernat Handicrafter, Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran, Rico Creative Cotton Aran, Crafter’s Secret Cotton Yarn (from Hobby Lobby) – I do not recommend their I Love This Cotton for washcloths

Time Spent:

In relation to the bobbles worked in a different color, I worked my small washcloth up in about an hour and a half, and the large one up in about an hour and 45 minutes.

The other version takes a little longer because there are more rows.

Measurements (with Border):

Small Colored Bobbles: 8″ Wide by 8.25″ Tall

Large Colored Bobbles: 8″ Wide by 10″ Tall

Small Solid Bobbles: 8″ Wide by 8″ Tall

Large Solid Bobbles: 8″ Wide by 10.25″ Tall

Gauge:

Not essential. 16 HDC by 10 Rows = 4” x 4”

Abbreviations:

  • SC – Single Crochet
  • How to Crochet a Bobble: All in the same stitch (Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yarn over, pull through 2 loops) 4x, yarn over, pull through all 5 loops

Pattern Notes:

Beginning chain 1 does not count as a stitch.

When working the washcloth with bobbles worked in a different color, you will need to carry Color B the entire time from the very first stitch worked into the beginning chain – meaning you will crochet over a strand of yarn the whole time. This is important to get a consistent tension, and size. You will not work over the other strand in the border.

Change yarn colors in the last yarn over the stitch.

The bobbles are worked from the wrong side. When working these rows, hold the yarn carried as close to you as possible (as opposed to held to the back) so it’s not seen from the right side.

Instructions are separated for Colored Bobble Washcloth and Solid Bobble Washcloth with the small instructions given, and the large instructions in parenthesis.

Patterns:

Colored Bobble Washcloths:

In CA, chain 30. Holding CB behind to work over, SC into the 2nd chain, and across. (29 SC)

R2: Chain 1, and turn. SC into the 1st 5 SC, (in CB Bobble into the next SC, in CA SC into the next 5 SC) 4x. (25 SC, 4 Bobbles)

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.
