Wavy Lace Kitchen Towel

Simple enough for an everyday kitchen knit but interesting enough to keep you from getting bored, Archive 002 uses an undulating lace pattern framed with garter stitch borders to create a textured cotton towel with a little more personality than the standard dishcloth. The repeating wave motif combines eyelets and gentle movement through the fabric, making this a nice project for showing off two coordinating or contrasting cotton colorways. Knit it for your own kitchen, make a matching set, or tuck one into a handmade housewarming gift. Construction & Skills The towel is worked flat from the bottom up, beginning and ending with a garter stitch border. A garter stitch edge runs along both sides while the wave lace pattern is worked through the center. You should be comfortable with knitting and purling, yarn overs, decreases including ssk and k2tog, and working a repeating stitch pattern. The pattern begins with 66 stitches and uses a 16-row lace repeat worked to your desired length. Yarn & Materials 2 skeins of Botanika Cotton Yarn in contrasting colors. This is also a great project for pairing two colors from your stash or choosing a tonal and coordinating contrast for a more subtle look. Needles & Notions 5.00 mm needles Scissors Darning needle
