PATTERN NOTES
Combined, the samples take a little more than one skein of each color. You could easily make a third towel with your leftover yarn.
These towels are knit flat from the bottom up. An I-Cord is knit separately and attached to the corner. In this pattern, work all slipped stitches purlwise with yarn held in back.
When working in the Mosaic sections, do not break yarn at the end of each row. Instead, twist the strands of yarn around one another every RS row, taking care not to twist too tightly.
