For Christmas, Santa brought Ree a play kitchen. She loves "doing the dishes" and washing her hands in the pretend sink. And she is constantly taking our towels to use. So I decided to knit up a towel of her very own as her Valentine's present.
I improvised the pattern & took some notes while knitting & thought I'd share it here.
Ree's Kitchen Towel
On size 8 needles, cast on 46 stitches.
Knit every row for 8 rows creating the border.
Switch to stockinette stitch, knitting first & last 3 stitches of each row.
After 18 inches from cast on edge I switched back to knitting every row for 8 rows. Bind off.
This can easily be adapted for a "big person" kitchen towel as well. Just continue in stockinette stitch for a few more rows before finishing the border.
I used Bernat cotton yarn & to make me a towel would probably knit for about 20 inches before finishing with the border.

What a great idea! The wee one here has a play kitchen and could really use her own towels!
ReplyDeleteHappy Yarn Along!
That tea towel is so cute and colorful. I'm sure it will prove very useful in Ree's kitchen. :)
