Pick-up adds texture to these gray towels, and a stripe of blue in the warp evokes sunny skies breaking through on a foggy day. Grab a cup of tea and weave this breezy pattern with two pick-up sticks that remain in the warp from start to finish—no reinserting!

An abundance of weft and warp floats make these kitchen towels not only textured but thirsty. Unlike many two-block pick-up patterns, this one doesn’t require reinserting the second pick-up stick every few picks, so the weaving goes quickly and smoothly. One towel uses a dark gray weft and the other a white weft, making a coordinating set that isn’t boring.

About: Tammy Bast, aka The Rogue Weaver, has been weaving for nine years and is always looking for ways to make weavers’ lives easier!
