The Poppy Crochet Dishtowel is a beautiful, easy level crochet pattern. The whole dish towel is made with a Spike Stitch in two different colors, which I think gives it a mid-century modern vibe.
Check out the youtube video tutorial for this pattern for left handed crocheters here and for right handed crocheters here.

The Yarn
For the sample crochet dishtowel, I used WeCrochet Dishie in the colors Swan and Colonial Rose. The great thing about this yarn is the price point and the color options, it’s also a great quality cotton yarn. However, there are so many possibilities with yarn choices for this pattern. Lion Brand Yarn 24/7 Cotton Available here, Lion Brand Yarn Pima Cotton available here, Lily Sugar and Cream Cotton Yarn available here, or any other cotton yarn that meets gauge will work!
You can purchase the printable pdf for this pattern on Etsy, or on Ravelry.
