Triangles Hand Towel – Free Knitting Pattern

Working with yarn (and even acrylic) yarn in the summer time can be such a drag. Who wants to be making scarves and mittens when it’s hot out?! When the days are long and hot, switch over to cotton yarn. It makes sturdy and easy-to-clean baskets, bags, and dishcloths.

If you are looking for a colorful way to spruce up your kitchen or a fun gift to make for a friend, this may be the knitting pattern for you. “Triangles Hand Towel” is a simple knitting pattern, but still visually interesting. An easy knit for the advanced knitter, or great practice for a beginner. One of the best parts is it takes just one ball of cotton yarn to knit the entire towel!

The “Triangles Hand Towel” was designed as part of a set. Find the matching dishcloth here: “Triangles Dish Cloth – Free Knitting Pattern”.
