When you are shopping with us for yarns for this pattern, include a note at checkout and we will happily include it for free with your order.

This stripe pattern is inspired by fouta or peshtemal towels, sometimes called Turkish towels when you see them in decor and gift shops here in North America. Made from 100% cotton, they are absorbent and fold up small, so they are ideal for trips to the beach and the pool.

This could be a baby or stroller blanket, but we also love it for early morning porch sitting, and keeping off the chill after a long day at the beach.

An easy 1-row repeat of garter stitch gives a satisfying texture, and an i-cord edging that’s knit as you go lends a refined feel. Knit to our dimensions, you’ll have enough left over to add twisted tassels if desired, or add length if you wish.
