The pattern is from “A Weaver’s Book of 8 Shaft Patterns” page 141, #511
My first try with waffle weave and I really like it. The magic is certainly in the wet finishing with these towels. They are soft and bouncy and very absorbant. They shrunk more in lenght than width so mine are a little too square, next time I will know how much to allow in length shrinkage.
The hems were done in the 8/2 cotton in the pattern - no plain weave. I machine stitched the hems before washing. They do flair a bit, but not enough to worry about.
