Here is the matching oven door towel to the basket weave dishcloth pattern. It gets a little tricky around the button hole, but trust me, if I can do, so can you!

I wrote a book!
Although unrelated to knitting, I want to tell you about Meal Planning Made Easy, a simplified approach to meal planning that will save you time, money and stress around mealtime.
Here’s what people are saying about Meal Planning Made Easy:
“This book is a must for anyone starting out. It is filled with useful tips and delicious recipes. It would make a great bridal shower gift or housewarming gift.” ~ Chris A Arnason, Amazon review
“This is my new “go to” for meals for my busy family. I love how accessible it is. Every day ingredients and I don’t have to go out and restock my kitchen. And the little notes at the bottom of the weekly menus are so helpful.” ~CrazyCatLady, Amazon review

You’re welcome, Beverly. It’s my favourite pattern too. And I love the basket weave for my dishcloths.
Thank you for the feedback!

J’aimerais savoir que veux les lettres K. Y etc. Dans vos patrons de serviettes merci
Hi Micheline,
I don’t speak French, so I put your question in a translator.
This is what the abbreviations in the pattern stand for:
K = knit
P = purl
YO = yarn over
K2tog = knit 2 together
SSK = slip, slip, knit.
I hope that helps!
Blessings,
Julia
What do k3 *k3 mean
Hi Trudy,
Sorry for the delayed reply.
Each row you start and end with the knit 3. The *k3,p3* or knit 3, purl 3 is repeated to the last three stitches where you knit 3. The asterisks mean repeat the stitches/pattern inside the asterisks until otherwise indicated. And every second row you repeat *p3,k3* to get the basketweave pattern.
I hope this helps!
Julia
Will 306 yards be enough to make this
Hi Evelyn,
Sorry for the delayed reply.
Yes, this is enough. In fact, you could make two and maybe even a dishcloth.
