Colorblock dishtowels reminiscent of early mornings in the pastry kitchen.

These dishtowels are worked in linen stitch, creating an eye-catching fabric that is smoother on one size and nubby on the other. One towel is worked horizontally and the other vertically to achieve stripes in opposing directions. Each is finished off with an I-cord loop for easy hanging.
