Crochet Duel Kitchen Linens

The Crochet Duel Kitchen Linens set is an easy, beginner-friendly pattern for adding a nostalgic, farmhouse feel to your kitchen.

Design Inspiration

“The gingham dog and the calico cat side by side on the table sat.”~ The Duel. My favorite poem growing up. This classic gingham pattern was born from nostalgia and looks amazing anywhere in the kitchen. It’s great for adding a little color to your culinary space and the Coboo yarn gives these towels a lovely, soft texture. These linens are also a fun and easy way to decorate for brunch or teatime. The color choice? Perfect for use in every season.
