If you're interested in more advanced patterns or detailed tutorials, I'll also provide links to other options that you can try. Let's get started!
Materials needed
To make these removable towel toppers, you will need two wooden rings or shower curtain rings. You can easily find these rings on Amazon or at your local craft store. Additionally, you will need weight 4 cotton yarn and a 5mm crochet hook. However, you can use any weight of cotton yarn and adjust your hook size accordingly. Feel free to use your preferred brand of cotton yarn, such as Lily Sugar'n Cream or Peaches & Cream.
Making a slip knot
To begin, create a slip knot by making a loop with the yarn and pulling the end through it. Insert your crochet hook through the loop and tighten the knot. This slip knot will be the starting point for your towel topper.
Creating the base of the towel topper
Instead of chaining, we will start by doing single crochets directly around the wooden ring. Insert your hook through the ring, pick up the yarn, and bring it around the hook. Yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook, creating a single crochet. Repeat this process to make a total of six single crochets around the ring. Then, chain two and turn your work.
Adding the second ring
After completing the base, it's time to attach the second wooden ring. At the end of the 15th row, chain one and turn your work. Similar to the beginning, single crochet around the ring, alternating between working into the stitches and around the ring. Repeat this process until you have six single crochets around the second ring. Finally, fasten off and weave in the ends.
Finishing the towel topper
To finish the towel topper, fold the single crochets on one side so that they align with the stitches on the opposite side. Use a yarn needle to seam the two sides together, creating a seamless finish. Weave in any remaining ends. Now, your towel topper is ready to use!
Benefits of removable towel toppers
Removable towel toppers offer several advantages over traditional towel toppers. Firstly, they allow you to easily change towels when they get dirty without having to completely remove the topper. This convenience is especially useful in busy kitchens. Additionally, removable towel toppers offer flexibility in terms of design and customization. You can experiment with different colors, yarn types, and patterns to create unique towel toppers that suit your style.
