Add handmade charm to your kitchen with this absorbent and textured seed stitch dish towel. The bumpy surface makes it perfect for drying dishes or hands, and it’s a relaxing, repetitive knit that suits beginners perfectly.

Materials
– 100% cotton worsted weight yarn (approx. 100g)
– 4.5 mm knitting needles
– Tapestry needle
– Scissors
– Blocking mat (optional)

Instructions

Cast On: 51 stitches (an odd number is essential).
Seed Stitch Pattern:
- Row 1: K1, P1 repeat to last st, K1.
- Row 2: P1, K1 repeat to last st, P1.
Repeat these two rows until the towel measures approx. 40–45 cm.
Bind Off: In pattern — knit the knits and purl the purls.
Finishing: Weave in ends. Optionally block to even out the texture.

How To

Why Odd Cast-On? Ensures stitches alternate on every row for full texture.
Avoid Curling: Seed stitch lies flat naturally — no edge treatment needed.
Best Yarn: Choose sturdy cotton for durability and water absorption.
Pattern Memory: Easy to memorize after a few rows — perfect for TV knitting.
Gift Tip: Knit a matching set with dishcloths for a thoughtful handmade bundle.
