Details
Written in US terminology
Finished size - approx. 10.5” x 20” (blocked)
Instructions are included to alter the size of the towel.

Skills/knowledge needed include: basic crochet stitches, chaining, front post double crochet, skipping stitches, crocheting back in stitches that have been skipped.

I do not like to assign a skill level for patterns, because I believe that any level maker can learn a certain skill/stitch. However, because this pattern uses post stitches, I would consider it intermediate difficulty. Special stitch instructions are included in the pattern, and there are tons of video tutorials available on YouTube for the stitches and techniques used in this pattern.
