I am slowly adding more crochet dish towels to my kitchen inventory! This Granny Stripe Crochet Dish Towel is made to be paired with the granny stripe dishcloth!
Supplies for Crocheting a Granny Stripe Dish Towel
When working on dish towels, I advise getting a cone of cotton yarn. This way you do not need to worry about having enough balls of yarn to complete the project.
Plus when you use a cone, you will have extra to make matching dishcloths!!
Also, I never use acrylic yarn. It simply does not soak up water like cotton yarn.
Acrylic can be scratchy as well so it may scratch delicate dishware and glassware.
Another tool that I find very handy is my Susan Bates Digital Row Counter. I use it on all my bigger projects. With little ones running around, I never lose count of my rows when I use it.
Perfect digital row counter that doesn't disrupt your crocheting.
