Measurements

approx. 44cm x 27cm.

Materials/Tools

• Yarn: Shamrock Yarns 100% Cotton. Yarn Length 50g. = 175m.
• Knitting needles: 3mm needles, and a 3mm crochet hook.
• Knitting tension: 24s per 10cm. – or the size you need to match the right knitting tension.

Yarn consumption

1 skein of yarn per kitchen towel. I have used 1 red skein (colour code 21), 1 white (colour code 02) and 1 blue yarn skein (colour code 09).

Abbreviations

s = stitch

ws = wrong side

rs = right side

P = Purl

K = Knit

Instructions

Cast on 66 s and knit back and forth like this:

Row 1 (ws): Slip the first stitch as if to purl with yarn in front of the work. Purl until you have 1 stitch left, then finish with K1.

Row 2 (rs): Slip the first stitch as if to purl with yarn in front of the work. Knit *P1, K2* – repeat until you have 2 s left, finish with P1, K1.

Repeat row 1 and 2 until your kitchen towel measures approx. 44cm, or until the yarn skein is almost used up, finish with Row 1 and cast off with K stitches.

Use the crochet hook and crochet 20 chain stitches to make a little strap on the corner edge. Sew the strap attached. Fasten off.

Wash and block – if needed.
