How to crochet a towel topper

[@lilbitatatime3763]

Thank you for supplying the written directions below. Traveling as a passenger on a long trip and this will pass time and be beautiful gifts.

[@remcat3572]

I'm so glad you made this design and tutorial. I have some extra wide towels that are also heavier weight and the other patterns I've followed don't work well with them. I can't wait to try this - pretty sure this double button topper will support these towels. Thanks!

[@karleem3473]

Great job explaining how you do the towel topper . Your tutorial was very helpful! I just hope I can do it as good as you did !,!!!!

[@arandbee4045]

When I was a child and learned embroidery stitches from my seamstress grandmother, I was taught that stitch you started out with is called 'chain stitch'. Since then, I have many times bought embroidery kits and that stitch was called 'chain stitch' in them too.

[@AnaLuzarraga-xb6bz]

Beautiful work

So pretty and different from the ones I’m making, I can’t wait to try it. Thank you

[@CraftingShed]

Thank you!

[@SM-vk7dk]

S!o cute! Love it! Thank you! 🤗

[@zulemaflores1234]

Great work! The sew stitch on the towel is a braid stitch!

[@thisnthatwithYaya]

The beginning stitch is also called a "blanket stitch" in embroidery. Beautiful!!!

[@norahmcphee4928]

Hello flower, this is a hand embroidery stitch, it is called CHAIN STITCH because it looks like a chain just as if you were crocheting a chain. Blanket stitch is done on the edge still having the yarn going under your needle but it looks like a U when knitted !_!_!_!_!_!_! I hope that this helps you flower. Thank you for a lovely project as my friend makes had towels edged like this for my christmas each so that i can hang them on my cupboard handles. x

[@sherrywortman2267]

Thank you. I've been looking for the right video and I watched some and I really liked them but then I found your tutorial and it's exactly what I was looking for. It was so clear and easy to follow too. I've got a wedding shower coming up. Guess what they will be getting? Haha Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent. :)

[@CraftingShed]

I'm glad you're choosing my project as inspiration for your presents. Thank you!

[@marisolsegura8761]

Muy hermoso gracias lo Ise y me quedo padrisimo muchas grasias

[@stacey021375]

Great tutorial...thanks for posting.

[@CraftingShed]

Thank you!

[@donnasr1799]

I learned that stitch as lazy day.

[@donnasr1799]

Lazy dazy.

[@sweetiepie7840]

So cute!! Thank you !

[@donnasr1799]

Love it!

[@iako666]

Love your work good job!

[@phyllisschaffer7853]

Thank you for sharing this lovely pattern with us. I have made 4 of these toppers, but am currently using 20mm wood buttons, and I don't think they will hold up to repeated washing in the washer and dryer, so I am hesitant about gifting them to family and friends. It looks to me like you are using either a plastic or resin button, and I was wondering if you would be able to supply me with a source to purchase the buttons you use... I am having difficulty finding them.

[@CraftingShed]

I use plastic buttons. There's a fabric store family-owned in my area. That's where I get my supplies. I also buy some supplies at Walmart.

[@doreenulrich]

I made this towel topper in a hurry and didn't have the right sized buttons so I just hung it on my cabinet knob. I folded it down to double it just like you have it in the picture but since the stitches have enough room between them I was able to hang it over the knob. Looks like a button! Just a suggestion. 😊 I don't think I have the ability to post a picture of it.

[@CraftingShed]

Yeah, I think I can picture what you're doing. Your knobs are right size for the stitch, is that right? Awesome! I'm so glad you found a creative way to do it. Thank you for the suggestion! ☺

[@carolkundo2535]

I loved this towel topper, would you have a hard copy that you would be willing to share?

[@CraftingShed]

I will look for it. Please bear with me if it will take some time. Thank you!

[@jeshartman198]

I am trying very hard to find what the shell pattern is called on the internet and can not, for the life of me, find it. This seems like a cross between a shell and blanket stitch as far as I can tell. I would love to make a blanket with these half shells (as I've started calling them in my head). Do you by chance know the multiples I would need to make this lay flat? (I enjoyed the pattern a ton and loved making the towel, thank you for this).

[@CraftingShed]

Yes, this might be a multiple of 3. Hope this helps. Thank you!

[@edithfeeney5393]

My towel is 11 inches wide. If I make a stitch every half inch that is 22 stitches. Can you please tell me what the number of stitches would be for the next row? Thank you.

[@justagramma]

I guess I wasn't paying attention when you said to make 35 stitches initially so when I got to the third row I only had 40 some stitches after the decreasing so I'm just going to continue and see how it works out.I did mark my towl to make a stitch every half inch but it didnt turn out to be 35

[@edithfeeney5393]

So sorry, but I can't figure out how you attach the yarn to start crocheting. When you stitch across the top that yarn was cut off from the rest of the skeen. How did you attach the yarn to start the crochet section?

[@jcklg5]

Love your work!

[@starrbrannon3883]

I don't remember what the stitch is called, but it is used in embroidery. I can't remember as it has been 30 years since I've embroidered.

[@sherylperry7829]

Your needlework stitch is called the chain stitch. It's a great idea!

[@CraftingShed]

Thank you!

[@almaaviles9101]

Me gusto !!! Lo haré gracias por el vídeo !!!! Saludos !!!!!

[@christianedesnoyers393]

how can i found the pattern off how to crochet a tower topper on your site..?

[@mufinmanswife]

Awesome ty

[@tinystarkimable]

Is there a written pattern somewhere

[@neusanair8302]

Muito lindo seu crochê!🤩😍😘

[@amberreeves5447]

dumb question, but from this video your hand towel looks larger than standard. is there a certain size?

[@CraftingShed]

I bought these towels from Costco and you're right they're thicker and better quality than those I have found from Walmart or Target. The towel measures 16 x 26 inches. Thank you!

[@trinket471]

Hi there, I’m working on this right now. Great looking pattern! I’m excited, my first crocheted towel, my G’ma used to make them. Quick question..do you have to stitch exactly 35 in the beginning?

[@CraftingShed]

No, it doesn't have to be 35 stitches. What is important is you evenly stitch about 69 to 70 single crochets in row 1 and about 50 to 54 single crochets for row 2. Thank you for your question.

[@nellycastillo8252]

Hi just subscribed ;-) I am loving your towel tutorial. I like that particular color, dark mauve? I want to try this project. Very pretty ✂️📏📐

[@donnapaulsen7783]

Do you have written directions? The tutorial goes to fast for me to write the directions down.

[@legendangel3226]

Beautiful....

[@cynthiaborah2348]

I believe it’s called the blanket stitch.

[@tuksabydeethailand5957]

สวยมากค่ะ beautiful very much

[@Creator2_gachatuber]

the stitch you start with is called the embroidery stitch :)

[@CraftingShed]

Thank you! :)

[@darlenejordan5777]

Wouldn’t Cotton be a better yarn to use for a Kitchen towel?

[@SpiritBear12]

You can use what you want.

[@SuperDenise128]

I just bought some cotton yarn. I'm going to try it. I don't see why it wouldn't work.

[@iraldacadena5090]

Muy lindo gracias x compartir que Dios la bendiga

[@aroha4751]

Lovely. The sewing stitch is called Chain stitch.

[@maritzacristobal4648]

Nose hablar ingles pero con ver aprendo esta facil gracias.

[@jeanniekoskey1999]

is there a secret to threading yarn through a needle

[@CraftingShed]

No, I don't have a special way of threading yarn through the needle. The tapestry/blunt needle that I'm using has a large eye, so the yarns usually go through without problem. Thank you for your question.

[@marianterry4437]

where can I get the pattern?

[@methatlovescats3602]

It depends of the size of towel.

[@darlenejordan5777]

Why don’t you use one end of the towel?

[@LadyVoldemort]

In my country that would be called "tusuk rantai" a.k.a. "chain stitch". It does look like the usual chain in crochet...

[@kathyhudson3709]

Do you have a pattern that I can download?

[@CraftingShed]

So sorry, I don't have it written down.

[@DianaRodriguezMartinez]

Gracias, me encantaría 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
