Knit Kitchen Dish Towel Set

I had seen a lot of crochet versions for  towel toppers, but it was hard to find a knitting pattern so I made this pattern while knitting a dishtowel, dishcloth, and potholder set for a friend.  This isn’t socks or sweaters, so toss the thought of the dreaded gauge swatch. Want to use a different yarn or needle size? Go for it. I used garter stitch because it gave a funky texture to this bright and festive yarn. You could use stockinette stitch, or whatever works for you, just have fun with this quick and easy project.  Includes a very simple dishcloth pattern, too.

Supplies:
Peaches & Creme (or other cotton worsted) 2 oz ball.  (I used Fiesta Ombre)
Pair of US Size 8 needles (5.0mm)
Large yarn needle
Dish towel
