These towels are inspired by the juicy, fresh colors of citrus fruits, and will give a timeless vintage vibe to your kitchen decor. Simple lace border and Garter stitch stripes give a nice accent to an otherwise very simple project. The lace is worked in combination of reversed stockinette and stockinette stitches, making it lay flat even without blocking. You can use any yarn between DK to Aran weight for the towels, and experiment with the level of absorbency and softness based on the fiber content.
