Rose Stitch Dishtowel
As you probably know, hand-making things you come into contact with every single day guarantees that every single day you get a self-loving burst of aren’t-I-clever. Even in the midst of drying a dish or wiping a table, our Rose Stitch Dishtowels will whisper these sweet nothings into your ear!
It all begins the moment you cast on because the very process of knitting these little gems with your own two hands brings on tingles of accomplishment and pride, the kind of satisfaction that no other dishtowel could possibly bring.
Besides having been made you, what makes this particular dishtowel knitting pattern so lovable is its all-over nubbly rose-stitch texture. A basic seed stitch with a literal twist on the knit stitches of every other row, the result is dual-sided beauty with a bit of scrubbing power.
All this in our perfectly lovely Cotton Pure yarn. One hundred percent organically grown cotton and just one skein for one dishtowel… No time like the present!

Pattern
Cast on 65 stitches. We used a basic Long Tail Cast On.

Row 2 (right side): Slip 1, *k1 through the back loop (tbl), k1, repeat from * to end of row.
Row 3: Slip 1, *p1, k1, repeat from * to end of row.
Row 4: Slip 1, *k1, k1 tbl, repeat from * to last 2 stitches, k2.
Repeat Rows 1-4 until piece measures 20 inches from cast-on edge or until desired length, ending with Row 1.
Bind-Off Row (right side): Bind off knitwise to last 2 stitches, k2, leaving 3 stitches on right needle.
Make I-Cord
With the remaining 3 stitches, work an I-Cord for 3 inches, working the last row as follows…
Last Row: K1, k2tog, pass first stitch over second stitch and off the right needle. Cut yarn, leaving an 8-inch tail and pull through remaining stitch.
Thread the tail onto a tapestry needle. Make a loop with the I-cord and weave the tail into the fabric of the dishtowel at the base of the I-cord, then weave it through the looped I-cord, and back into the fabric of the dishtowel.
Weave in the ends, wet block, and done!
