Materials

I used:

The pattern is in US terms; for UK terms, just substitute sc with dc.

Instructions

Starting the Towel

Work a 49 chain.

First Row

Sc in 2nd chain from hook and in each chain across = 48sc, 2ch turn.

Second Row

Miss 1st st, 2sc in second st, *miss next st, 2 sc in next st* repeat from * to * to the end of the row, 2 chain turn.

(You are working 2sc in the second sc of each 2sc group on each row and ending each row with a 2 chain turn.)

Finishing the Towel

Repeat the second row until you have the length you require, then work a sc edging all around the towel.

I worked 68 rows and my towel measures 31cms wide and 42cms long.
