Over the past two weeks, I have experimented with the traditional Lemon Peel stitch (alternating single crochet and double crochet.) It is my favorite and most used stitch!
This particular variation of the Lemon Peel Stitch, I name Lemon Peel Mesh. It is my favorite so far! This made a beautiful washcloth with just a bit of stretch.
Here's a close up of the stitches
