Weekly Wash #45: Wasatch Hand Towel

I love towels that are easy to make, have a great texture, and are actually something you would use. This hand towel is made to match a washcloth and scrubby I previously designed because I really like those and wanted more pieces to complete a set. This towel is a great size and could be made any size you would like.

When this towel was done I knew I needed to make a hanging towel version. It is very similar, just has a slit in the middle to make it really easy to slip around a handle or oven bar.
