For the last couple of years, I’ve made dishcloths to donate to my local food pantry, and I try to drop off my donation in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving. I donate through the Each Stitch Counts project, and each dishcloth is donated with a bottle of dish soap.

This year, I’ve been using these patterns centered on half double crochet. Each dishcloth calls for worsted weight cotton and a size H hook. All the examples in the picture below were made in Lily’s Peaches ‘N Cream. They are fast and easy, and each finished dishcloth is about eight inches across. Enjoy!
