C2C Leprechaun Hat Washcloth – Free Crochet Pattern

February 20, 2021

Free crochet pattern for how to crochet a washcloth that has a leprechaun hat using half double crochet corner to corner. Two sizes included!

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

Find the free crochet pattern instructions below, or purchase a printer-friendly, ad-free PDF on Ravelry by clicking here.

I’ve been on a washcloth kick this last month sharing my C2C Enamored Heart Washcloth, C2C Two Enamored Hearts Washcloth and now this leprechaun one (plus I have another heart one that did not get published).

This corner to corner pattern is worked in half double crochets, which allows for less space between each square which makes for a sturdier, more functional washcloth, but you still get the great texture of the corner to corner stitch pattern, and ease in creating the graphic.

If you’re new to corner to corner or need a refresher, I have a photo tutorial for C2C in HDC.

AD-FREE, PRINTER FRIENDLY PDF:

If you would like a PDF version of this post, you may get one through either my EyeLoveKnots Etsy Shop, Ravelry or LoveCrafts 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!

Materials:

  • 86 (110) Yards of Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn
  • H8/5mm Crochet Hook
  • Tapestry Needle
  • Optional, Jewelry Pliers

Material Notes:

I only worked up the Small size. I used Crafters Secret Cotton in Yellow (4 yards) and Black (11 yards), and Lily Sugar n Cream in Green (28 yards) and Ecru (43 yards). The second yardage is estimated

Yarn Alternatives: WeCrochet Dishie, Bernat Handicrafter, Red Heart’s Smoothie, Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran, Rico Creative Cotton Aran.

Hook: For Lily Sugar n Cream, I used an H8/5mm crochet hook, and for Crafters Secret Cotton, I used an I9/5.5mm crochet hook.

Jewelry pliers are an excellent tool to use to help weave in ends, as cotton yarn can be quite tough on the fingers when weaving in with just fingers and a tapestry needle.

Time Spent:

  • Small: 1 hour, 25 minutes
  • Medium: 1 hour, 45 minutes

Measurements:

  • Small: 7.75″ Square
  • Medium: 9.13″ (or 1/8″) Square

Gauge:

7 Squares = 4 1/16″

Abbreviations (US Terms)

  • HDC – Half Double Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
  • SC – Single Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
  • C2C – Corner to Corner (HDC Photo Tutorial)

Pattern Notes:

A box is comprised of three half double crochets.

This washcloth grows from the bottom right corner to the top left corner.

This pattern is written with colors and boxes only. If you would like more details on how to work the corner to corner technique, check out my Corner to Corner in Half Double Crochet Photo Tutorial.

For the border, you want to work your chain 1 loosely so the finished washcloth will lay flat. If you crochet tightly, I recommend going up one hook size for the border only, otherwise it will cup.

Join to the 1st SC.

Ends:

Use your crochet hook to pull all of your ends to the wrong side of the washcloth – technically, any side can be the right or wrong side because turning is done at the end of each row, I look to the first boxed worked to determine my right side. Weave in ends.

Please feel free to make and sell your own C2C Leprechaun Hat Washcloth using this pattern, but please DO NOT claim this pattern as your own nor should you sell my pattern, and DO NOT re-publish my photos as your own. DO NOT copy and paste my pattern anywhere, link to it instead.

    Hard to believe it’s going to be March in a few days. Great idea for a holiday-themed washcloth.

      I’m running a little behind in replying to comments but as I read this, I look at your “going to be March” and I look down and see we’re already half way through! Time just flies by!

    Fantastic addition! My NHS kids are making St. Pat cards for our local Nursing Home. It is so fun to celebrate each holiday.

    Super cute washcloth! Perfect for St. Patrick’s day. I do love crocheting my own dish rags. I will have to give this one a try.

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.
