       Knit Kitchen Towel Holder    Waffle Style










Sugar & Cream Yarn
size 8 double pointed needles
tapestry needle

Cast on 10 stitches
Row 1: Knit all stitches
Row 2: knit all stitches
Row 3: knit 3 do **buttonhole on four stitches  knit 3
Row 4  knit
Row 5  purl
Row 6   K1, P2 ,K1, P2, K1, P2, K1
Row 7  P1, K2, P1, K2, P1, K2, P1

Repeat….  4-7  four more times.


Next row: bind off 6 stitches, k4

With your 4. remaining live stitches, knit an i-cord 4 inches long
Bind off the i-cord  and attached to right side of towel holder by sewing with tapestry needle.

 I have decided that no button is necessary if you just hang and pull the loop through the buttonhole. (might be because I’m lazy!)


**Buttonhole
Step 1 -- work to where you want buttonhole to begin. Bring yarn to front; slip 1 purl-wise, bring yarn to back.

Step 2 -- Slip 1 purl-wise, pass first slipped stitch over second. (repeat this part 2 more times--passing over 3 stitches total, for a 3-stitch buttonhole) Place last stitch back on left needle. Turn work.

Step 3 -- Cast on 4 stitches (for the 3 stitches you bound off, plus 1) using the cable cast-on method.

Step 4 -- Turn work (so RS is facing). Bring yarn to back; slip first st of left needle onto right needle and pass last CO st over it. …you're done!  Work to end of the row, or to the next buttonhole!
