Springtime trio
by Francesca Caricato Choose your favorite colors to make two towels and a pot holder, a complete gift, or a great idea to brighten up your kitchen.
For this funny project I chose a beautiful "aran" weight Peruvian cotton, which creates a soft and rippled texture. The main stitch is "seed stitch", that is knit and purl alternated in rows and columns. Yarn: Luna by Cascadeyarns 50g/1.75oz & 75m/82yards - 3 skeins (different colors) Straight needles 3.50 mm (US 4) Gauge: 7st in 4" (seed st) but indentical tension is not required.
