This is a quick 1 skein knit hand towel with all-over cabling that gives it massive ‘sponge pockets.’

Per contra means “on the other hand,” & this towel wants to sub for select-a-size paper towels in the home. No more tearing sheets for simple things like drying-off fruits: it’s my little act of green! To step-up the greenness you can use organic yarns.

Needles = straights, double-pointed needles & cable needle.

Notes:

  • Gauge is not critical but knit this towel with needles that are 1 size lower than your ball band suggests.
