An easy-to-knit set with vintage charm. Each towel is knit in two pieces- a large main section and smaller second section, which are then joined with a three-needle bind off (no seams!).

The yarn featured is an easy care cotton/ linen blend that’s perfect for gift knitting!

Note: I’ve had some feedback that the beginning instructions can be confusing. To clarify, when it says “slip the first stitch of each row” you actually just slip the stitch instead of knitting it- so you would slip 1, knit 3 (4 sts total), then purl 3, then knit 4, purl 3, etc to the last 4 stitches, which you knit. This forms a 4 x 3 rib. You actually don’t have to slip the stitch at all- this is just a common way to make a smooth selvedge edge.
