Rose Stitch Dishtowel In New Colors
At this time of year, we’re browsing our counters and our gardens to see what is ripe, what is so abundant it must be used. Maybe it’s gazpacho tonight. Or grilled zucchini? Our beautiful Rose Stitch Dishtowel is a trusty helper in making either and also a lovely reminder that, whether knitting or cooking, when our creativity is engaged, everything tastes better!
Made by adding a periodic knit-through-the-back-loop to basic seed stitch, this rose-stitch texture is wonderfully nubbly in a pleasing diagonal pattern… Easy to memorize and knit but with an abundance of beauty!
It only takes one skein of our organically grown Cotton Pure to whip up each dishtowel. Soft and absorbent, it makes a fabric that’s perfect for drying dinnerware and soaking up spills.
We love how punchy Lemon Mint brightens this palette of dreamy, soft colors and down-to-earth neutrals… Gorgeous!
With a palette as bountiful as a ripening garden, get your creative juices flowing and craft the right combo for you, whether it’s full of peaceful pigments or a vibrant variety!

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 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 right needle. Cut yarn, leaving an 8-inch tail and pull through remaining stitch.
Thread tail onto a tapestry needle. Make a loop with I-cord and weave tail into fabric of dishtowel at base of I-cord, then weave it through looped I-cord, and back into fabric of dishtowel.
Weave in the ends, wet block, and done!
