Design notes: The Tea Towel is crocheted starting with the Rose Square Motifs made in the round, which are join-as-you-go motifs. Alternatively, you can crochet the two motifs separately and then sew them together by hand. Two extra flowers are made and sewn on the back side of the motifs (also optional). The strap is made in rows, and finally, the towel, also in rows. The button is sewn by hand. Space in the treble stitch of the strap should be of sufficient size to serve as buttonhole.
