This is a patten by my good friend Corrina. I actually own two of these towels hand made for me by Corrina! They are wonderful and soft. My 3 year old loves them because when she dries her hands and face the towels don’t fall off!

Skill Level: Easy

MATERIALS
Two 2 oz balls Lily Sugar’n Cream Cotton Yarn
in your choice of colors
Size 7 knitting needles
1″ button or whatever size works for you
Needle and thread to attach button
For this towel, I used two different colors of
variegated yarn–starting with the first 10 rows
of the darker color and then alternating every
two rows. This is a good way to use two different
balls of yarn or you can do stripes and use lots
of colors.
