Sampler Washcloth Tunisian Crochet Pattern
Here’s what you will need:
- worsted weight cotton yarn, approx. 186 yds (such as Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton® Yarn)
- J10 / 6mm Tunisian hook
- yarn needle and scissors for finishing
Resources and tutorials you may find helpful in following this pattern: Tunisian Crochet Abbreviations and Symbols, Basic Forward and Return Pass, How to Crochet a Tunisian Knit Stitch (Tks), How to Crochet a Tunisian Purl Stitch (Tps), How to Crochet Tunisian Simple Stitch (Tss).
Add this pattern to your Ravelry library.
Reminders:
- When working your forward pass, the loop on your hook counts as the first stitch.
- The last stitch of each row should be made through the two end loops of row below.
- A basic return pass should be used throughout (i.e., yo, draw through 1 loop, *yo, draw through 2 loops, rep from * across).
- Tks – Tunisian Knit Stitch
- Tps – Tunisian Reverse Stitch
- Tss – Tunisian Simple Stitch

Enjoying your site. What brand yarn did you use for your sampler washcloths?
Hi Joyce 🙂 I believe I did these washcloths with Bernat Handicrafter Cotton.
Just finished my washcloth using your pattern as a base guide but I did a few modifications instead of chaining 20 I chained 30 and instead of doing the tunisian simple stitch I did the tunisian cross stitch and my washcloth turned out beautifully I wish I could post a picture of it to show everyone here. It did take a bit more time to complete but looking at it now it was worth the extra effort.
Oooh … that sounds beautiful!! You can always post a photo on my Facebook page if you’d like … I would love to see it 🙂 https://www.facebook.com/petalstopicots
This sampler looks fun to make. I never tried Tunisian crochet before, this will be interesting. Just so I understand, each row consists of a forward and return pass, correct?
Yes, each row consists of a forward and return pass 🙂
