Handmade Hand Towels

MATERIALS To make one Hand Towel you will need… Purl Soho’s [Field Notes][1], 50% Sicilian cotton and 50% hemp. Each ball of this light worsted/DK-weight yarn is 104 yards/ 50 grams; approximately 410 total yards required. - Main Color (MC): 4 balls; approximately 380 (400, 390, 345) yards required for Layout 1 (2, 3, 4) - Contrast Color (CC): 1 ball; approximately 30 (10, 20, 65) yards required for Layout 1 (2, 3, 4) - US 3 (3.25 mm), straight or 24-inch circular [knitting needles][2] - If using straight needles: two US 3 [double pointed needles][3] for I-cord NOTE: 2 balls of CC, plus 4 balls of MC for each towel (16 total MC balls), is enough to make all 4 layouts. We used the following colors for our towels (see Pattern, below, for images of each layout)… - Layout 1: MC Brown Ochre + CC Cocoa Bean - Layout 2: MC Orange Oxide + CC Night Storm - Layout 3: MC Red Bean + CC Ocean Teal - Layout 4: MC Fresco Red + CC Rain Cloud GAUGE 20 stitches and 38 rows = 4 inches in seed stitch NOTE: When you run Field Notes through the gentle cycle of a washing machine and dryer, it gets softer and even more amazing!
