PATTERN NOTES
The Terrific Tea Towels are worked flat from the bottom up. Garter stitch is worked for the top and bottom border, while the body is worked with a garter stitch edge on each side, and stockinette stitch in the middle. The borders help the towels to lay flat after blocking.

Please note that this pattern is written to make the most of one skein of Cotton Supreme Waves. You may need to unravel your swatch, and if you wish to make larger towels, you will need an additional skein of yarn.
