Relief Share volunteer makes beautiful dishcloths for the sick and needy.

We were so thrilled to get a wonderful donation from Sue B. She handmade these gorgeous cotton washcloths to donate to the sick and needy ReliefShare.org serves.

If you would like to make dishcloths (also used for baby washcloths) for the sick and needy, here is a pattern that we actually use a lot.

Grandmother’s Favorite Dishcloth
Rating: Easy
Materials: Sugar and Cream yarn; Size 6 or 7 needles (US)
Instructions:
Cast on 4 stitches
Row 1: Knit 4
Row 2: Knit 2, yarn over, knit across the row. Repeat Row 2 until you have 44 stitches on the needle.
Knit 1, Knit 2 together, yarn over, knit 2 together, knit to the end of the row.
Repeat Row 3 until you have 4 stitches on the needle. You can now either bind off or do a round of single crochet and make a little loop of chain stitches in one corner so you can hang the cloth to dry when you are finished using it.

A huge thank you to Sue, we sure appreciate you!
