The Colorblock Towel has a wonderful texture that is made with the Hurdle Stitch, an easy to remember 4-row pattern. The first 2 rows are knitted; the other 2 rows are k1, p1.

This Stay Put Towel is consistent with the others in that it doesn’t need a button and won’t slip off the handle! It also has twice the drying space of the usual knitted towel. It’s knitted with soft cotton worsted weight yarn, and has a keyhole placed midway through that allows one end of the towel to pull through the other for a decorative and functional kitchen towel. Enjoy choosing your three colors! Knit a couple of coordinating towels for yourself, and a couple more to give. Makes a great gift!
