This kitchen towel is a quick and relaxing project perfect for beginners and advanced knitters too. With a garter stitch base, and a more complex geometric panel that’s designed with just knit and purl stitches, it’s a perfect mix of smooth, repetetive knitting, with more focus-requiring bits to keep the interest. This tea towel is perfect for sprucing up your kitchen or creating a thoughtful gift for a holiday or housewarming.

This pattern had been tech edited and test knit as always.
