Emerald's Lace A Bath Set by Tabitha's Heart

The idea for this bath set came from a lace panel for a shawl I knit for one of the widows of our congregation, Ms. Emerald. As I was knitting it, I realized that the medallion would make a lovely wash cloth and towel set for Mother's Day gifts. It is only fitting that the design bears her name.

I have included a lace motif on both ends of the towel, just to give myself something to look forward to at the end of the of the towel. However, if you prefer a more substantial towel, you can substitute stockinette for the 28 rows of the second lace repeat. I have inserted a note to at the point in the pattern where you would make this change.

Supplies● 100% cotton worsted weight yarn (1 - 2.5-ounce (70 g) ball for wash cloth, 5 - 2.5 ounce (70

g) balls for towel. 1 -16-ounce (453 g) cone will make a towel and leave enough yarn leftover for several washcloths. There might even be enough yarn for two towels but I haven't tested that theory.

● US 8 (5.0mm) knitting needles (or size to obtain gauge)● Tapestry needle

Gauge● Approximately 4.25 stitches and 6.5 rows per inch over stockinette.

Finished Size● Wash cloth – Approximately 9 X 9 inches● Towel - Approximately 18 X 27 inches

Lace Medallion Stitch Pattern● 28 rows over 17 stitches (Chart on last page of pattern)

Repeat last 2 rows for 90 rows or desired length ending with a wrong side (purl) row. You will need to stop at about 7 inches less than the total desired length of the towel. If you prefer only one lace panel then continue in stockinette until 1 inch from desired length and end with 6 rows of moss stitch (rows 175 – 180).

Designers Note:This is the beginning of second lace panel. Continue in stockinette if you want to omit the second lace panel.
