Cottage Tea Towel

The Cottage Tea Towel is a simple yet pretty dish towel made with the linen stitch to give it an interesting texture, and almost woven-like appearance. I highly recommend using a (non-mercerized) cotton yarn for this (maybe even a recycled one?!) as cotton is sturdy, absorbent, and can also be machine-washed!
