How to Make a Crochet Kitchen Towel Holder

Crochet is a versatile craft that allows you to create a wide range of useful and decorative items. In this tutorial, I will show you how to make a crochet kitchen towel holder, which is not only practical but also adds a touch of charm to your kitchen decor.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we'll need for this project:

• Worsted weight cotton yarn
• 5mm crochet hook
• 3-inch wooden ring
• Needle and thread
• 1-inch button

Now that we have everything ready, let's get started!

Step 1: Starting the Project

To begin, create a slip knot and place it on your crochet hook. Next, insert the hook inside the wooden ring and secure the slip knot onto the ring. This will be the foundation of our towel holder.

Step 2: Single Crocheting Around the Ring

Now it's time to single crochet around the ring. Yarn over and pull the yarn through the ring, then insert your hook into the ring and pull up a loop. Yarn over again and pull it through both loops on your hook. Repeat this process until the entire ring is filled with single crochets.

The number of stitches you make will depend on the size of your ring. Aim to fill the ring completely and ensure it looks visually pleasing. Approximately 60 single crochets should be sufficient for a ring of this size.

Step 3: Making the Hanging Loop

Once the ring is fully covered, we can start creating the hanging loop. Chain two and half double crochet in the same stitch that you slipped stitched into. Continue half double crocheting in the next eight stitches, resulting in a total of nine half double crochets.

This is the first row of the hanging loop. Turn your work and chain two at the beginning of each row. In subsequent rows, half double crochet in each stitch across. Repeat this process for twelve rows in total.

Step 4: Continuing the Rows

Continue working on the rows, chaining two at the beginning of each row, and half double crocheting in each stitch. Keep repeating this pattern until you have completed a total of twelve rows.

Step 5: Creating the Buttonhole

Once you have finished twelve rows, it's time to create the buttonhole. Chain two as usual and then half double crochet in the first four stitches. Slip stitch into the fifth stitch. Chain six and slip stitch back into the same stitch. This will form the buttonhole.

Next, half double crochet in the next four stitches to complete the buttonhole row.

Step 6: Finishing the Towel Holder

The buttonhole row is complete. Now, turn your work and chain one. Single crochet in the first four stitches, then create six single crochets in the loop you created for the buttonhole.

Single crochet in the last four stitches and continue to the next row. Slip stitch in the first stitch, single crochet in the second stitch, half double crochet in the third stitch, and double crochet in the fourth stitch. Skip the next stitch, which is the first single crochet of the loop. Instead, single crochet in the next four stitches. Skip the next single crochet around the loop and double crochet in the following stitch. Half double crochet in the next stitch, single crochet in the next stitch, and finish the row with a slip stitch.

For the final row, turn your work, chain one, and single crochet in each stitch across. There should be a total of twelve stitches in this row.

Testing and Using the Towel Holder

Congratulations! You have completed your crochet kitchen towel holder. Before finishing up, double-check that the button fits through the buttonhole smoothly. The one-inch button should fit perfectly.

Test the towel holder by threading a towel through the ring. It's incredibly convenient and can be easily hung on your stove or refrigerator door handle, giving you quick access to a towel while cooking.
