Hold on to your skeins, folks—it’s the second to last week in our 12 Weeks of Gifting series! This week’s free pattern is the always-needed, one-size-fits-all kitchen essential, the Dish Towel Set.

Add a functional pop of color to your kitchen with a classic set of hand-knit dish towels. The simple stitch pattern creates a subtle, yet practical texture while contrasting lines at either end add a little something extra. Ideal for beginning knitters who are looking to take the next step beyond simple garter and stockinette stitches, a simple yet effective slipped stitch pattern create a thick texture while the contrasting stripes add a slice of visual interest.

Knit in durable Dishie cotton yarns, which means twists, multis, and cones are all perfect to use for this project.

Remember: This pattern will be free for this week only! So be sure to download it before next Monday at 11:59pm Pacific Time. We have set up a handy 12 Weeks of Gifting calendar, so be sure check back next Tuesday to find the last free pattern in the series. Happy crafting!
