I love the Linen Stitch, because it’s absorbent and stretchy. So why not use it for a kitchen towel? Whether you’re drying your hands or the dishes, this towel is the perfect accessory for your kitchen.

This pattern is part of the Sunshine Charlotte Beginner Series, and as such it uses only ch and sc. It includes two photo tutorials: the first will help you complete the first two rows of the pattern, and the second will guide you through changing colors. This item works up quickly, and people will wonder where you got your adorable towels. Make a set for your own home, give them as gifts at the next bridal shower you attend, or whip up a bunch for a spring craft show!

I’d love to see your finished objects! Once you’ve worked up this pattern, snap a picture and create a project page on Ravelry. As a beginner, this is the perfect place to show off your new-found talent!
