Valley Yarns #85 Summer Garden Towel PDF

The Valley Yarns Summer Garden Towel uses Valley Cotton in 10/2 and 6/2, both available in lots of colors. Different patterns can be achieved easily through the treadling. The 6/2 unmercerized cotton works really well for the pattern weft, allowing you to square the blocks nicely.
