Sneak Peek of the New Pattern: 1970s Retro Knit Tea Towel / Dishcloth

!!! Update: The pattern is now live and available on the blog via this link. !!!

My pattern for a 1970s inspired retro dishcloth / tea towel is about to go live. Whilst I am putting the finishing touches to the upcoming pattern post, here is a little sneak peek of the initial test knit. 

As a lover of bold '70s colour combinations and having recently gotten more interested in colourwork knitting, this project combines colourwork practice with the visual stimulus of vintage 70s vibes.

For the tea towel in the images I used some left over Cottonsoft Yarn by King Cole, but decided to knit a second tea towel in Drops Paris (images of that when the pattern is released shortly). 

Retro 1970s Tea Towel  Test Knit (King Cole Cottonsoft Yarn) 

My retro 1970s tea towel pattern will be written based on the Drops Paris version of the project. 

Drops Paris was more suitable for this project as it is overall a sturdier, aran weight dishcloth cotton yarn and it comes in vibrant colours. With Cottonsoft, on the other hand, the colour palette appeared to be more muted and matt.
