Introduction

Are you looking for a fun and easy crochet project? Look no further! In this tutorial, I will teach you how to make a simple and practical towel topper. This project is perfect for beginners and can be completed in no time. You can use this towel topper to hang your towels in the kitchen, bathroom, or even gift it to a friend. So, grab your crochet hooks and let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials you will need for this project. Here's a list:

1. Worsted weight yarn
2. Towel
3. Size 8 (5.0mm) crochet hook
4. Hair tie
5. Scissors
6. Tapestry needle
7. 3/4 inch button

Step 1: Creating the Base

To start, grab your hair tie and place your crochet hook underneath it. Pull some yarn through the hair tie, leaving a small tail for weaving in later. Make a chain of three stitches, creating a loop around the hair tie. This will serve as the foundation for our towel topper.

Step 2: Crocheting the Rows

Next, we will crochet double crochets around the entire hair tie. Insert your hook under the hair tie, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Yarn over again and pull through the first two loops on your hook, then yarn over once more and pull through the remaining two loops. Continue making double crochets until the hair tie is completely covered. Close the round by making a slip stitch into the first double crochet.

Step 3: Adding the Button Loop

For this step, chain one and make a single crochet in the same stitch as your chain. Then, make a single crochet in the next eight stitches. This will create a row of nine single crochets. Chain one and turn your work.

Step 4: Attaching the Button

In this step, you will create the button loop. Make a single crochet in the first four stitches, then chain one and skip the next stitch. Make a single crochet in the last four stitches of the row. Chain one and turn your work.

Step 5: Folding and Inserting the Towel

To complete your towel topper, fold down the button loop section and insert the button into the loop. This will secure the towel in place. Finally, fold your towel and insert it into the towel topper. You're done!

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully created a beautiful and functional towel topper. This project is a great way to add a personal touch to your home or to create thoughtful gifts. Have fun experimenting with different yarn colors and patterns to suit your style. Happy crocheting!
