MATERIALS

  • Main Color (MC): 1 skein of Purl Soho’s Tulip Cotton, 100% organically grown cotton. Each skein is 131 yards/ 100 grams; approximately 131 yards required. We used Heirloom White.
  • Contrast Color (CC): 1 skein of Tulip Cotton; approximately 32 yards required. We used Yellow Marigold, Amber Honey, Icecap Blue, and Blue Talc.
  • US 7 (4.5 mm) straight or 20- or 24-inch circular needles
  • If using straight needles: Two US 7 double pointed needles, for I-cord

NOTE: This is enough yarn for one dishtowel, but there is enough CC left over for three more! Be sure to pick up an additional MC skein for each one.

GAUGE
20 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stitch pattern, unblocked

SIZE
Finished Dimensions: Approximately 10 inches wide x 16 inches long

NOTE: Our samples are an inch wider and an inch longer than the pattern’s final measurements. We altered the pattern a little bit to make sure you’d only need one skein of the Main Color! To be extra sure you won’t need more than one skein, make sure you’re getting gauge and don’t cut your swatch yarn so you can reuse it.
