                          Kitchen Towel
                        from Sharon Devol

Materials:
  1 towel about 14 x 24 inches. Be sure towel has complete design
on both ends--it makes 2 towels.
  1 oz. 4-ply yarn in colors to blend with towel.
  size 6 steel crochet hook.
  size G crochet hook.

Zig zag or sew 2 lines across the center of the towel, dividing
the two designs.  Cut between the sewing.

ROW1: Using the #6 steel hook, sc across cut top of towel. Make
the sts about 1/4 inch apart. Ch 3, turn.
ROW2: Change to size G hook, dc in every st across row. Ch 3,
turn.
ROW3: Dc in every other dc across row. Ch 3, turn.

Repeat rows 2 and 3 until only 6-8 sts remain for desired width.
Dc in every dc for 8-10 rows. Fasten off, weave in ends. Optional
"nice touch" - on last row, ch 1 between middle dcs to create a
gap.   Like this:
           _
        ||| |||
        |||||||

Sew a button on inside front on bottom row of 6-8 dc. No
buttonhole is needed; button will go between center dcs (or
gap that you created with the ch 1).
