The ‘Wildflower Hand Towel’ is a cute and functional accessory for your kitchen or bathroom. The basketweave texture is created from only knit and purl stitches so it is a great beginner friendly project. This project works best with 100% cotton so it will hold its shape and be absorbent. With 100% cotton, it is also able to be machine washed and dried.
