This pattern is an easy four row repeat and there is also a video stitch tutorial available that you can see by clicking this link.

The Ivory Sage Dish Towel works up quickly. I made the entire towel in just a few hours!

The puff stitches give the towel a thickness that protects surfaces from heat as well as being absorbent when using cotton yarn.
