Washcloths crocheted from propylene. Let's talk about how to crochet a washcloth with elongated loops.

Bath washcloth - a product for cleansing and massaging the skin. Depending on the material, you can remove all the dirt from the pores or remove cellulite from problem areas.

Content:

A washcloth is an indispensable item for a bath, which helps the skin to cleanse itself and absorb healing oils. Now in supermarkets there are entire departments with products for the bath. Here you can find towels, mittens, hats, brushes and washcloths. But if you love needlework and are good at crocheting or knitting, make your own bath washcloth.

Materials for the manufacture of washcloths for the bath

This item is designed to remove dirt and keratinized particles of the epidermis from the surface of the skin. Due to this, the pores open and are cleaned under the influence of temperature. There are a lot of materials for making a washcloth. Usually, hard raw materials are chosen, which scratch the skin a little. It is necessary for rubbing and massaging the body.

Bath accessories can be made from natural or artificial materials. The cheapest are foam products or washcloths made of very thin fishing line. Undoubtedly, they perfectly clean, but cannot be compared with products made of natural materials.

Let us consider in more detail the materials from which bath washcloths are made:

• lyk. This is a material that is fibers from the inner surface of a young linden tree. The fibers are combined into threads, from which the product is then knitted. Undeniable advantages - naturalness and excellent cleansing ability. When heated, linden fibers will release phytoncides, which has a beneficial effect on the health of the respiratory system.
• Loofah. This is a material made from the fruits of the gourd family. They are dried and crushed. It is from this raw material that bath accessories are made. The fibers of such a washcloth are coarse, so they are suitable for people who work in conditions of increased dustiness of the space. Often these products are used for anti-cellulite massage. Due to the rigidity, you can easily remove dead skin particles and massage problem areas.
• Sisal. A tropical plant, from the fibers of the leaves of which bath washcloths are made. The fiber is very hard, so it is often used for anti-cellulite massage. It is undesirable to use on sensitive and irritated skin.
• ramy. Chinese nettle, from the fibers of which weave bath accessories. The washcloth is of medium hardness, so it can be used for sensitive skin. With strong pressure, it copes well with cellulite.
• Linen. It was from it that bath washcloths were made in Rus'. It perfectly cleanses the skin and stimulates the cleansing of pores. With proper use, a linen washcloth will last a very long time. It is quite tough, so before cleansing the skin, the product must be poured with boiling water.
• artificial materials. The undoubted advantage of products made from artificial raw materials is the price. In addition, on the market you can find a product of any shape and color. Such a washcloth does not rot, respectively, will serve you for a very long time. But some people are sensitive to synthetics, so it can trigger allergies.

Features of the manufacture of bath washcloths

Despite the huge assortment of bath washcloths, many needlewomen continue to implement their design ideas and knit beautiful and unusual bath accessories. If you are fluent in elementary knitting techniques, then it will not be difficult for you to make a washcloth in the form of a rectangle or mittens. In addition, weaving bath accessories can be a source of additional income especially if you like to spend evenings with crochet or knitting needles.

Preparation for weaving washcloths in the bath

At the very beginning, you need to decide on the material and shape of the future product. Choose yarn depending on the type of skin and the tasks that you set when going to the bath. Silk threads are suitable for delicate and sensitive skin. But most often, sheep or goat wool is used to knit a bath washcloth.

Often used linen or cotton threads. With their help, you will be able to create a hard washcloth for deep skin cleansing and anti-cellulite massage.

To knit washcloths in the bath with your own hands, you can use a hook or knitting needles. It is worth remembering that bath accessories are knitted from thick yarn, so the knitting needles and hook must be of the appropriate size. The choice of knitting technique and tool depends on your skills and preferences.

In addition, you will need a piece of foam rubber that is placed inside the bath accessories so that it lathers well.

The scheme of knitting washcloths in the bath

Common patterns for knitted washcloths in the bath:

1. checkerboard. This is a pattern that is woven with knitting needles. The weaving pattern is based on the alternation of purl and facial loops. Most often, knit 5 front and 5 purl loops. After five rows, the loops are changed. Thus, you will get a relief canvas that massages and cleanses the skin well.
2. Putanka. This pattern is knitted using soft yarn. Suitable sheep's wool or silk. The pattern is reminiscent of knots. This effect can be achieved by alternating loops. You need to knit one knit and one purl stitch. In this case, in the next row, do not forget to alternate the loops. The result is a kind of nodules, with which you can do anti-cellulite massage. Patterns with alternating loops are used mainly for the manufacture of rectangular or square washcloths. If you want to weave a round, oval or kese, choose a simple circuit. So you can easily cut and add loops.

If you knit a washcloth with knitting needles, then a garter stitch will do. In the case of using a hook, the ideal option is a single crochet. The simple pattern will prevent you from getting confused when cutting and adding loops in case of making a mitt or soft toys.

Crochet a washcloth for a bath

For the manufacture of the product, select a hook size 5 or more. If you use a thinner hook, you will get a very tight knit, because of this, the washcloth will not foam well. Choose a hook with a rounded and large head that does not scratch the skin while knitting.

If you do not know how to knit a washcloth for a bath, then it is better to do it from yarn or nylon threads. Nylon products are very hard, so they are used for anti-cellulite massage or instead of a scrub. For sensitive skin, purchase soft silk or cotton threads.

It is most convenient to use a kese. This product is in the form of a glove. It is made without filler (foam rubber), therefore it is knitted using thick yarn and a hook with a large head. This allows you to make the product loose, so it will wash well.

If knitting a mitten seems difficult to you, make a looped rectangle. This is an excellent product for washing the back and hard-to-reach parts of the body. The length of the rectangle is selected depending on your dimensions. The diameter of the eyelets should be such that the hand passes through them perfectly.

Choose a pattern depending on your experience. The easiest way is to crochet a washcloth with a double crochet. This is the simplest and most common element. With it, even a beginner can knit a rectangle or a mitten.

Crocheting a washcloth for a bath is a fairly simple task. You can shorten the loops in order to give the product a cup-shaped shape by knitting columns through one. That is, you do not enter the hook into every column, but in a checkerboard pattern. Such an abbreviation can be mastered even by a beginner. Then you can insert a piece of foam rubber into this bowl, which will allow the washcloth to wash better.

Knitting washcloths in the bath with knitting needles

It is a little more difficult to work with knitting needles, since stocking knitting is rarely used to weave a washcloth. But if you only know the basics of knitting, then you can use garter stitch. This is a pattern that is woven using facial loops. The wavy texture of the washcloth perfectly cleanses the skin.

If you plan to knit a product for anti-cellulite massage, choose a tangle or checkerboard pattern. Due to the convexity of the elements, you will receive a product that can remove the upper layers of the skin and improve blood circulation in the tissues.

For knitting mittens with knitting needles, two techniques can be used. On five needles or two. With two knitting needles you will be able to knit two canvases that need to be sewn together. Even a beginner can handle this job.

It is easiest to weave rectangular or square products, but if you like an oval or round washcloth, you need to learn the rules for shortening rows. There are several options for cutting stitches with knitting needles. This can be done with an additional knitting needle or by knitting two loops at the same time. Thus, you will make one from two loops. Repeat knitting loops in pairs through the same distance.

Unusual washcloths for a bath with their own hands

If you are weaving a product in the form of a scarf, then you will not need washcloth patterns. Usually such a washcloth is crocheted. Beginning with a chain air loops. Next, a double crochet is knitted. You need to continue knitting until you get the desired width. After that, simply attach the handles to the corners of the scarf. They are knitted using a chain processed with a single crochet.

Shaggy washcloth in the bath

The washcloth with deflated loops, which consists of a handle, a base and a fluffy part, perfectly copes with pollution. The product looks like fluffy fabric. Usually such a washcloth is woven in the form of a pipe or an oval.

Instructions for making a fluffy bath washcloth:

• To weave the product, purchase yarn. In hardware stores you can find threads for washcloths, they can be nylon or natural.
• Crochet 50 air loops, connect the pigtail into a ring. Work 3 rows with a double crochet. This is the basis for the pipe.
• Now proceed to knitting the "shaggy" part. To do this, wind the thread around your finger through each column and only then knit the main element. Release the thread from your finger. As a result, you will get loops. It is because of this that the product seems fluffy.
• You need to knit the fluffy part for 15-20 rows. After that, knit 3 rows with a double crochet.
• All you have to do is make the handles. To do this, dial 30-50 air loops and tie them with a single crochet.
• Often complement the pipe with a muzzle and paws. As a result, you will get a cute dog.

Washcloth-mitten for a bath

A mitten is woven by analogy with a washcloth-pipe:

1. It is necessary to dial the number of air loops equal to the double girth of the palm at the widest point. Measure from the back of the hand to the base bone thumb.
2. Connect the pigtail into a ring and then knit 15 rows with a double crochet.
3. On the 16th row, after 5 double crochets, knit 15 air loops.
4. Lock into an arch and knit with a double crochet to the end of the row.
5. Work 10 more rows as usual. You should end up with a pipe with a hole.
6. Shorten stitches by knitting two stitches together. This must be done every 3 columns. So you get a mitten without a finger.
7. Tie your finger in a circle. Decrease stitches after 7 rows by knitting two stitches together.
8. Don't forget to tie the loop holder.
9. For decor, you can tie the base of the mitten with threads of a different color.

Round washcloth in the bath

To do this, you need to crochet 7 loops and close them into a ring. Now just knit in a single crochet in a circle. You will get something similar to a snail.

When the diameter of the circle becomes 15-20 cm, shorten the loops. This is done by knitting two single crochets at the same time, you need to repeat the reduction through the row. So knit 5 rows. You will receive a kind of thicket.

Place a circle of foam rubber inside the recess. Attach a handle. You can decorate the product to your taste. A round washcloth made of multi-colored threads looks nice.

As you can see, tying a washcloth for a bath with your own hands is quite simple. Enough elementary skills and a little patience.

Good afternoon dear friends!

I will tell you about my story of crocheting a washcloth with elongated loops, or rather two washcloths - a double rectangular and a round one. And I will describe step by step the process of knitting them, perhaps it will be interesting and useful to someone.

Once upon a time, in search of a new washcloth in the store, I came across knitted polypropylene options, I didn’t dare to buy such ones, because you can also tie a similar one yourself. Although they did not inspire me very much, such ordinary, unattractive and, moreover, some kind of sloppy washcloths. At that time, I bought a washcloth made of natural material.

Later, on my favorite site Pinterest, I saw a photo of interesting knitted soap cases. Well, what our needlewomen will not come up with!

These photos gave me the idea to crochet a small summer shower washcloth with soap inside. Soap tends to slip out of hands and fall through the grate on the floor, and then it is problematic to get it out. A new washcloth should solve this problem.

It seemed to me boring to knit a washcloth with ordinary columns, the option with elongated loops is much more interesting.

Knitting a rectangular washcloth with elongated loops

Before crocheting a washcloth with elongated loops, we need to purchase threads for knitting. From the recommendations on the Internet, I realized that washcloths can be knitted from cotton, linen, sisal, and most often washcloths are knitted from polypropylene twine, which is sold in hardware stores.

There are many threads for sale. different color, I chose a bright pink skein of thick threads, the seller confirmed that they were bought for washcloths.

But, after knitting a few rows, I realized that such threads are not suitable. The washcloth from them turns out to be too hard, it is rather better to clean the pans with it. I don’t know why people knit washcloths for a bath from such people.

This did not suit me, and I took thinner threads.

Here is such a skein

I usually use them for tying tomatoes and flowers.

It is advisable to take a thicker hook, although the knitting will be more loose, but the washcloth will turn out not too hard and pleasant to the touch. I have hook number 3.7.

How to knit a washcloth: a step by step description

We collect a chain of air loops with a length twice the width of the future washcloth, and close it into a ring.

We knit one - two rows with single crochets in a circle.

I must say that knitting from polypropylene threads is not very convenient, since the thread is coarse, and even delaminates. But what to do, it is necessary!

We knit the next row with elongated loops.

I took only a photo of the beginning of knitting and a photo of the finished washcloth. How to knit elongated loops, it was very inconvenient to photograph while holding the loop on the hand.

My longtime regular readers probably remember what was at our competition. I am amazed at how much patience and how much work was invested by the author of the work Natalia!

For the first time I knitted with such a pattern, out of habit it was not very convenient to press the elongated loops, at first they turned out to be of unequal length. But then I got the hang of it and, in principle, already easily and quickly knitted a washcloth.

We knit the next row after the elongated loops with single crochets, the next row again with elongated loops. So we alternate rows. We finish knitting with one or two rows of single crochets.

I crocheted the open edge of the washcloth with half-columns, leaving a hole the size of a bar of soap. Soap through it is easy to place inside the washcloth. It won’t go anywhere, it won’t fall out, and you don’t need to lather the washcloth, just wet it with water.

In the corner, I also knitted a small loop of air loops.

In practice, the washcloth turned out to be quite comfortable and moderately hard.

Such a nice little hedgehog. The view from both sides is exactly the same.

Since my washcloth is unusual and used with soap, it is small in size.

But in principle, of course, you can also knit a long washcloth, make beautiful inserts from colored stripes, tie handles (from the same air loops tied with single crochets).

If you don't want a double washcloth, crochet a single washcloth with the loops drawn out. The principle of knitting is the same, only not in a circle, but in reverse rows. Front row - elongated loops, purl - single crochet.

You can also crochet a washcloth without elongated loops with single crochets. For this option, probably, more and thicker yarn is suitable.

But that is not all!

Round washcloth with elongated crochet loops

In addition to rectangular ones, there are also round washcloths, and I decided to knit this one as well.

The principle of knitting a circle is probably already known to everyone. I can provide a diagram. Here is good scheme knitting circle.

When knitting a round washcloth with elongated loops, you need to follow the rule: when knitting each column above the column of the previous row, we make elongated loops, and we knit an additional column to increase the number of loops in a row without an elongated loop.

In more detail, it will look like this:

• We collect 6 VP, close in a ring
• 1st row: 12 single crochet
• Row 2: Ch 2, *1 st st extended, 1 single crochet to extend row into same st*, total 24 sts
• 3rd row: 2 VP, * 1 column with an extended loop, 1 column without a crochet in the same loop, 1 column with an extended loop *, you get 36 columns in total
• Row 4: Ch 2, *1 st inc, 1 st in same st, 2 sts inst* (48 sts)
• Row 5: Ch 2, *1 st inc, 1 single crochet in same st, 3 sts inst* (60 sts)
• Row 6: Ch 2, *1 st inc, 1 st in same st, 4 sts inst* (72 sts)

I knitted 6 rows of a circle, you can make a smaller circle, and a larger one.

Everyone uses washcloths. Basically, they are bought, but due to the fact that washcloths stretch quickly, this is not entirely profitable. Today we will talk about how to crochet a washcloth for a shower with difficult elongated loops or ordinary ones - it takes little time, and the costs are significantly reduced. Our master class today is devoted to this topic.

Making things useful in everyday life with your own hands is a very good hobby!

MK for beginners in crocheting washcloths according to patterns

We will need:

• hook of medium thickness (for example, No. 4);
• polypropylene threads (they are sold in the same place as regular knitting threads).

When choosing a hook, it must be taken into account that if the head of the hook is sharp, it will tear the polypropylene fibers.

Thread color can be selected own will and taste. To create a good volume of washcloths, you can take two threads at once.

We analyze step-by-step instructions with a description of the work

To begin with, two threads are folded and a chain of air loops is made. For a chain width of 10 cm (excluding elongated loops), you need a chain 20 cm long. We connect the resulting chain of air loops into a ring and tie the ring with single crochets. We knit 4 rows.

Pulling stitches: you can continue knitting with single crochets, but it will be faster to knit with double crochets, while the loops must be pulled out.

How to pull loops:

1. The working thread is thrown onto the hook;
2. The hook is displayed in the loop of the previous row;
3. Grab the working thread from both sides, so a loop is formed on the finger;
4. Pull two threads through the loop of the row and throw off the finger. Four loops remain on the hook;
5. The working thread is hooked and pulled through two loops;
6. Captured again working thread and stretched through the two loops that remained on the hook;
7. When the row is knitted, you need to turn the washcloth inside out to make it easier to knit (example in the photo).

Then you need to knit with double crochets, pulling out the loops. You need to knit until the washcloth acquires the required length.

The last rows are knitted with single crochets, without pulling the loops.

How to tie handles:

The washcloth handles can be knitted separately and then attached to the washcloth, but you can also knit without breaking the thread.

We knit the first handle after the main canvas.

In the first loop of the row, you need to knit a single crochet, and from the loop formed, tie the chain with air loops. The number of air loops adjusts the length of the handle. We fix the end of the chain by knitting single crochets in the middle of the washcloth. After the handle is fixed, you can start tying the handle. You need to tie with a single crochet. Knit 2-3 rows. Upon completion, the loop is pulled and the knot is tightened. The thread can be cut.

The second handle is knitted according to the principle of the first handle. It is necessary to tie the threads to the edge of the washcloth, fix it. We knit a chain of air loops (the number is the same as on the first handle), we tie 2-3 rows with single crochets and fasten.

At the end, turn the washcloth with the shaggy side out. An example of the resulting washcloth can be seen in the photo below.

We create a do-it-yourself washcloth-mitten with a photo

This accessory is perfect for children. With knitted washcloths in the form of mittens, children will be happy to bathe, or use such a washcloth to help clean the house.

We will need:

• Acrylic threads of different colors;
• Medium hook, for example No. 4;

A knitted washcloth will be 18 cm high and 13 cm wide.

Step-by-step instructions for creating a product for the shower

First you need to tie a mitten, for this we collect 34 air loops and connect them into a ring with a connecting column. Next, knit single crochets, at the beginning of a new row, make one air loop for lifting, and at the end of the row, knit a connecting column into the initial air loop. The diagram can be seen in this photo.

Explanation for the diagram:

• Then we skip 10 single crochets on both sides to form a hole for the handles, the remaining 30 loops continue to knit in a circle.
• 1-4 rows. 30 single crochets are knitted.
• 5 row. On both sides, we subtract two columns without a crochet (26 columns remain).
• 6-10 rows. The decrease continues on both sides, two columns without a crochet. There are 6 single crochets left.
• Next, you need to cut the thread and stretch it through the remaining six loops and fasten.

We make handles and a nose of a bear and a pig

First you need to attach the thread to the hole of the ten skipped loops.

1-3 rows. Knit 10 single crochets.

4 row. Work two single crochets together five times. You will get five single crochet.
